About this work

This painting shows a quiet street in Moret, France. Wet cobblestones glisten under soft light. A few people walk past old stone houses with blue shutters. Sisley painted this near the end of his life. He loved how light changed on buildings and water. His brushwork is loose but precise, catching the scene just right.
