“His at Suresne,” an oil painting on canvas by Alfred Sisley, was completed in 1879. This artwork belongs to the Impressionism art movement and falls within the landscape genre. Measuring 50 x 65 cm, the artwork currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a tranquil riverside scene with a blend of natural and human elements. A waterway stretches across the canvas, reflecting the soft hues of the sky and trees. The right side of the painting showcases bare trees, likely indicating a late fall or early winter setting, while the left side features a pathway with individuals and a horse-drawn carriage proceeding along the riverbank. Boats are moored along the river, and distant structures can be discerned through the atmospheric perspective, a hallmark of Sisley’s technique. The overall composition, characterized by loose brushstrokes and delicate interplay of light and shadow, encapsulates the serene elegance distinct to Impressionist landscapes.
