About the piece

Painted in 1897 during Alfred Sisley’s visit to Wales, 'La Rade de Cardiff' is a masterful example of Late Impressionism. The work captures the ethereal, hazy light of the harbor through flickering brushstrokes and a delicate palette of blues and greens, framed by the dark silhouette of a foreground tree.
