Associate Curator Chiara Di Stefano explains why this simple picture of a branch of the River Seine is important.
'The Petit Bras of the Seine at Argenteuil' is visiting three museums across the country as part of The National Gallery Masterpiece Tour: The Sainsbury Centre, Norwich; South Shields Museum and Art Gallery; Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool and Ferens Art Gallery, Hull.
Our Masterpiece Tour partners will display the painting in exhibitions offering new ways for audiences across the UK to experience the painting.
