A study of a landing-stage and lake, somehow reminiscent of Sisley, whose paintings are chracterized by the same gentle reflectiveness.
The previous painting was of course a study for this much more familiar painting. But look at this, an even finer painting on the same lines, and shown to in a much better scan:
