La Seine à Poissy is a 1908 oil by Albert Marquet, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Musée d'art moderne de Paris.
The painting depicts a serene river scene with a row of boats docked along the right bank. The water's surface reflects the sky and surrounding foliage, creating a sense of calmness. In the distance, a bridge spans the river, adding depth to the composition. A prominent tree stands on the right side of the river, its leaves a vibrant green. The sky above is a soft blue, dotted with white clouds. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world depicted.
