Henri Rousseau painted this landscape in 1911, taking the Seine at Suresnes as his subject. The river setting places it among his Paris-area views, and the Eiffel Tower is also associated with the work. Rousseau was a French post-Impressionist working in the Naïve manner. He was nicknamed Le Douanier, a playful nod to his job as a toll and tax collector. He began painting seriously in his early forties and left that work at 49 to paint full-time.

Henri Rousseau was a French post-Impressionist painter who worked in the Naïve, or Primitive, manner. He was nicknamed Le Douanier, a playful nod to his job collecting tolls and taxes. He began painting seriously in his early forties and, by the age of 49, had retired from that work to devote himself fully to art.
