1896
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Bords du Loing, près Saint-Mammès is a 1896 by Alfred Sisley, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet riverbank with a lone figure walking near the water. The scene is mostly in shades of gray and brown, with a few darker patches for trees and shadows. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving a rough, sketchy feel to the whole thing. The artist focused on light and movement, almost like the scene is caught in a quick glance. The trees along the river look thick and wild, while the water has a choppy, uneven surface. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
