The artwork, titled “The Factory at Sevres,” was created by Alfred Sisley in 1879. Executed in oil on canvas, it belongs to the Impressionist movement and depicts a cityscape. The dimensions of the artwork are 60.01 by 73.34 cm.
In this painting, Sisley captures a serene urban scene characterized by a clear, bright sky filled with large, billowing clouds. The composition includes a prominent factory building on the right, with intricate architectural details, and several smaller structures receding into the background. The landscape is bathed in sunlight, casting warm tones across the facades of the buildings and the foliage of trees which are in autumnal bloom. The brushstrokes are vigorous and texture-rich, exemplifying the Impressionist style, and there are several figures dotting the lane, adding a human element to the tranquil scenery. The overall ambiance of the artwork is one of peaceful everyday life, rendered with keen attention to light and shadow.
