- Title:
- Buildings by a Weir in a Mountainous Valley
- Object name(s):
- Picture; French
- Brief description:
- In this subtle depiction of rushing water in a mountainous valley, with what are possibly mill buildings tucked behind the trees, the steep, densely wooded hills spill down to the water's edge. The hillsides are painted with small, sometimes feathery brushstrokes, often seeming to delineate every leaf. There is no agreement on the attribution of this painting. The French painter Bidauld has been suggested because he repeatedly painted fast-moving mountain streams.
