About the piece

Painted in 1885, this work by Alfred Sisley captures the tranquil movement of the river Loing. The composition features a cluster of dark barges in the foreground, contrasted against the bright, red-roofed buildings of the French village and a masterfully rendered sky filled with soft, scudding clouds.
