Three Sketches-Two Geese Walking; Peasant Woman with a Cow; Goose Hiding its Head 1895 - 1897

This piece by Alfred Sisley, titled "Three Sketches-Two Geese Walking; Peasant Woman with a Cow; Goose Hiding its Head," captures the essence of daily life in the late 19th century. Using colored pencil, Sisley's sketches, created between 1895-1897, are a charming and intimate portrayal of simple subjects - geese, a peasant woman, and a cow. These small, yet evocative, works demonstrate Sisley's keen observation and skillful use of light and color, characteristic of his Impressionist style. Now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City, these sketches offer a glimpse into Sisley's artistic process and provide a window into the everyday life of the time.
