About the piece

Created in 1878, this oil painting by Alfred Sisley is a quintessential example of Impressionist landscape art. The composition captures the rhythmic verticality of tall poplars along a stream, using a naturalistic palette to convey the soft, dappled light of the French countryside at midday.
