The artwork, “Goose Girl,” created by Alfred Sisley around 1895, exemplifies the post-impressionist movement through the medium of pastel. With dimensions of 28 x 38 cm, the artwork falls under the genre painting category and is presently located in a private collection.
In the artwork, a tranquil rural scene is depicted. A young girl, dressed in a blue apron, walks along a country path with geese by her side, grazing near a pond. The landscape is characterized by a lush green expanse, a serene body of water, and clusters of trees in the background, softly rendered with pastel hues. The sky is depicted in a delicate blue, with scattered clouds enhancing the calm and pastoral atmosphere. The gentle variation in color and form reflects the post-impressionist emphasis on capturing the essence of the scene with serene and harmonious elements.
