Upon returning to the United States, Robinson applied the Impressionist vocabulary he had learned in France to distinctly American scenes. In one of a series of images of the Mianus River estuary in Cos Cob, Connecticut, he featured the broad mud flats at low tide, the river's shimmering reflections, and, in the distance, the newly renovated Riverside Yacht Club. Sleek pleasure boats, moored offshore, await excursionists.
