Michèle Lannoy-Duputel, Hippoyte Camille Delpy, 1842 - 1910, invitation au voyage, Paris, cité p.40;

Nous remercions Monsieur David Duputel qui a aimablement confirmé l'authenticité de cette œuvre qui figurera au Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre d'Hippolyte-Camille Delpy en préparation par Monsieur David Duputel.

The painting has been relined. It would benefit from a light cleaning, since the varnish has yellowed in some parts : the sky appears slightly more yellow than on the visual in the catalogue. Under UV light, small repaints are visible on the boat, in the middle of the composition, on the figures standing by the boat, and finally in the grass, by the water, on the lower left. The painting is in good condition.
