The artwork titled “Confluence of the Seine and the Loing” by Alfred Sisley, created in 1885, is an oil painting on canvas. This impressionist landscape measures 54 x 73 centimeters and is part of a private collection.
The artwork captures a serene riverside scene with a vibrant depiction of the confluence of two rivers, the Seine and the Loing. The composition features a calm body of water, reflecting the surrounding scenery with gentle ripples. The sky above is a clear blue expanse, with subtle variations in color to indicate light and atmospheric conditions. On the right side of the canvas, a cluster of houses, painted in warm, inviting hues, adds a charming, human element to the natural landscape.
