This pair of Compigné paintings depicts two riverside landscapes, animated with figures navigating on the water. Rectangular in shape, each work is executed on a sheet of stamped tin, enhanced with silver, gold leaf, and gouache. This skillful blend of materials creates a perfect union between painting and engraving. In the first painting, the scene shows, in the foreground, the winding bank of a river. A solitary figure, standing with his back turned, gazes at the water stretching into the distance. The horizontal silver-toned lines used to depict the river evoke a flat and tranquil surface. Two men are busy bringing their boat to shore. On the opposite bank to the left, a hamlet emerges, while two sailing boats appear in the distance. Another hamlet, similar to the first, can be glimpsed through sparse vegetation. The second painting offers a similar scene. Three calm bodies of water, separated by winding banks, structure the composition. On one, a horseman rides across the scene. On another, a figure seen from behind walks along the riverbank. In the background, a hamlet rises amid lush vegetation. A sailing boat and another vessel moored along the banks complete the view. Touches of gold in varied tones highlight certain details, creating contrasts and shadows that give the whole a delicate relief and subtle shimmer. The skies, painted in gouache in soft bluish-pink hues, reflect the gentle colors of a late afternoon. This chromatic range transitions harmoniously from rose to the deeper greys of the clouds, with birds flying overhead. Each painting is set in a frame decorated with gold borders, a pearl frieze, and waterleaf motifs.
