La Seine à Bougival is a 1873 oil by Alfred Sisley, a Impressionism work, depicting Seine, held at Denver Art Museum.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a river, likely the Seine, running through it. The riverbank is lined with trees, and a few figures are visible in the distance. The sky above is a soft, hazy grey. In the foreground, the artist has used a range of earthy tones to depict the terrain, from the deep greens of the trees to the warm browns of the riverbank. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy.
