About the piece
In this 1870 painting, Alfred Sisley captures a tranquil scene of river barges, or 'péniches', moored in a harbor. The work exemplifies early Impressionism, focusing on the play of light across the water's surface and the expansive, luminous sky. The earthy tones of the wooden hulls provide a grounding contrast to the soft blues and greys of the atmosphere.
