The Banks of the Bièvre near Bicêtre, Henri Rousseau
The Banks of the Bièvre near Bicêtre ca. 1908-09 Henri Rousseau (le Douanier) French
Rousseau identified the subject of this painting in a handwritten note, affixed to its stretcher, dated 1909, the year he consigned it for sale to the dealer Ambroise Vollard. The scene depicts the landscape around Bicêtre, a working-class community on the southern edge of Paris near the Bièvre river (now buried underground as it courses through the city). In Rousseaus day, the waterway was heavily polluted, but certain spots still offered picturesque views, as suggested by the figures in peasant dress on the tree-lined path at left, and the glimpse of the seventeenth-century aqueduc d Arcueil in the background

The Banks of the Bièvre near Bicêtre
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Henri Rousseau that transports viewers to the outskirts of Paris in the early 20th century. In this picturesque scene, Rousseau skillfully captures the beauty and charm amidst an otherwise polluted waterway. The artist's handwritten note, dated 1909, reveals his connection to this tranquil landscape. Located in a working-class community, Bicêtre, on the southern edge of Paris, the Bièvre river was known for its contamination during Rousseau's time. However, he manages to find pockets of serenity along its banks. The figures dressed in peasant attire add a touch of rustic simplicity as they stroll along a tree-lined path at left. One cannot help but be drawn into this idyllic setting with its lush greenery and clear blue sky. As our gaze extends beyond the figures and towards the background, we catch sight of the seventeenth-century aqueduct d'Arcueil gracefully arching over the horizon. Rousseau's ability to transform an ordinary scene into something extraordinary is evident here. Through his masterful brushstrokes and keen eye for detail, he invites us to appreciate nature's resilience even within an urban environment marred by pollution. This timeless print serves as a reminder that beauty can be found in unexpected places if one takes a moment to observe their surroundings closely.
