“The Loing at Moret,” created in 1881 by Alfred Sisley, is an oil painting on canvas. Representing the Impressionism movement, this landscape artwork measures 38 by 54 centimeters and is held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene riverside scene, showcasing the tranquil waters of the Loing at Moret-sur-Loing. A rustic building with a red-tiled roof stands prominently on the right, partially obscured by autumnal trees, their leaves tinged with hues of orange and gold. In the foreground, two figures walk along the riverbank, capturing a moment of leisurely stroll. The sky, painted in soft, varied shades of blue, hints at the transient effects of light and atmosphere characteristic of Sisley’s impressionistic style. Across the river, the opposite bank is adorned with faintly golden foliage, creating a harmonious contrast with the cool tones of the water and sky.
