You see a quiet road turning into the distance, lined with trees and a few buildings. The painting has a calm atmosphere, which is interesting because it was made during a time of change in the art world. Sisley was part of a group of artists who focused on everyday scenes like this one. Check out the work of Alfred Sisley to learn more about his style.
