By the River Loing 1896

"By the River Loing" is a pastel on paper landscape painting by Alfred Sisley, a British-born French Impressionist painter. Painted in 1896, the painting depicts a peaceful scene along the banks of the Loing River, a recurring subject for Sisley. The painting features a tranquil river, with a small boat in the distance, a line of geese in the foreground, and two figures standing on the riverbank. The soft, muted colors and the gentle brushstrokes create a sense of calm and serenity, typical of Sisley's style. The artwork is currently housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen in Rouen, France.
