Saint-Mammès, temps gris is a 1892 oil by Alfred Sisley, a Impressionism work, depicting Seine, held at Art Gallery of Ontario.
This painting shows a riverbank scene with a few people walking along the water's edge. The river, possibly the Seine, is on the left side of the painting, and there's a bridge in the background. The sky is overcast, and the colors are muted, with lots of grays and browns. The artist has used short, quick brushstrokes to capture the texture of the trees and the riverbank. The painting has a sense of calmness and serenity to it. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who painted this, you might want to look up Alfred Sisley.
