The artwork “Near Moret sur Loing” by Alfred Sisley, completed in 1881, is an oil on canvas painting belonging to the Impressionism art movement. Measuring 54.61 x 73.34 cm, this landscape genre piece is part of a private collection.
The artwork depicts a tranquil riverside scene beneath a wooden structure, possibly a bridge, set against the serene backdrop of the town of Moret-sur-Loing. Tall trees dominate the left side of the composition, their foliage rendered in vibrant, textured brushstrokes of green, yellow, and orange. The right side of the painting reveals the town’s buildings, reflected softly in the calm river. The sky above is painted with dynamic, sweeping strokes, capturing the ephemeral quality of light and atmosphere, hallmarks of the Impressionist style.
