About the piece
Painted in 1872, this tranquil work by Alfred Sisley captures a bend in the Seine at the Island of Saint-Denis. The composition exemplifies the Impressionist fascination with atmospheric light, featuring a vast, soft sky that reflects in the calm river waters while figures and boats dot the sun-dappled bank.
