Alfred Sisley English, 1839-1899

 

The Seine at Bougival .

Oil on canvas 1876

Signed and dated (lover right): Sisley, 76

 

Sisley produced his most celebrated canvases in and around Marly-le-Roi in 1876. This view, painted at neighboring Bougival – a town along the Seine, just west of Paris – probably dates from early autumn, since the leaves have just begun to thin and turn yellow.

 

Partial and Promised Gift of Mr. nad Mrs. Douglas Dillon, 1992.

1992.103.4

From the placard: Metropolitan Museum of Art.
