About the piece

Created during the height of the Impressionist movement in 1874, this work by Alfred Sisley showcases his mastery of light and atmosphere. The painting focuses on the grand arches of the Marly aqueduct, contrasted by the intimate presence of a lone rider on horseback. Sisley’s rhythmic, broken brushstrokes and vibrant palette perfectly evoke a breezy day in the French landscape, making it a timeless addition to any collection.
