The most striking paintings by Daubigny were those produced between 1864 and 1874, which depict mostly forest landscapes and lakes. Disappointed because he felt that he did not meet with the same level of success and admiration as his contemporaries, by the end of his career he was nonetheless an extremely sought-after and appreciated artist. The motifs of his paintings, sometimes tending towards repetitiveness and often playing on the horizontality of the landscape underlined by a backlight effect, would be taken up and accentuated by [[Hippolyte Camille Delpy]], his most influenced student.

His most ambitious canvases include ''Springtime'' (1857), in the Louvre; ''Borde de la Cure'', Morvan (1864); ''Villerville sur Mer'' (1864); ''Moonlight'' (1865); ''Auvers-sur-Oise'' (1868); and ''Return of the Flock'' (1878).  He was named by the French government as an Officer of the [[Legion of Honor]].<ref>The Iconographic Encyclopaedia of the Arts and Scien: Sculpture and painting, 1887, page 138</ref>
