The artwork, titled “Village of Saint Mammès,” was created circa 1898 by the artist Alfred Sisley. This piece is associated with the Post-Impressionism art movement and falls under the genre painting category. The painting captures a serene village scene with people and livestock near the water.
In this pastoral depiction, a group of white geese can be seen wandering along a grassy, riverside path, accompanied by figures dressed in simple attire, likely villagers. On the right, modest buildings with sloping roofs frame the scene, while to the left, a wide expanse of blue water stretches toward the horizon, where boats can be spotted. The sky is a soft blue, dotted with light clouds. The overall ambiance is calm and picturesque, reflecting Sisley’s skill in portraying the tranquility of rural life.
