The artwork titled “Houses on the Banks of the Loing” was created in 1889 by the renowned artist Alfred Sisley. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece is a fine example of the Impressionist movement. The landscape painting measures 33 by 41 centimeters and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a tranquil scene by the Loing River, featuring houses and a wooded area along the riverbanks. The landscape is characterized by the soft and dappled brushwork typical of Impressionism, conveying a sense of light and movement. The natural scenery, with trees and reflections in the water, is rendered in a palette of gentle, harmonious colors, capturing an idyllic moment in this rural setting. The peacefulness and simplicity of the scene invite viewers to contemplate the beauty of the natural world.
