The artwork, entitled “Construction Site at Matrat, Moret sur Loing,” is an oil painting on canvas created by Alfred Sisley in 1888. This piece belongs to the Impressionist movement and is classified as a landscape genre. Currently, it resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene construction site along the banks of a river in Moret sur Loing. Bare trees dot the riverside, casting long shadows across the vibrant green grass. In the background, we see a collection of buildings, some of them reflecting on the water’s surface under a bright, gently clouded sky. The scene captures the tranquility of rural life and Sisley’s mastery in rendering natural light and atmosphere, hallmark qualities of the Impressionist style.
