The Seine at Port-Marly, Piles of Sand

Alfred Sisley was a French-born British Impressionist landscape painter, born in Paris to British expatriate parents. Considered the most consistent of the Impressionists in his dedication to painting en plein air (outdoors), Sisley's oeuvre comprises almost entirely landscapes, with his most important works including series of paintings around Hampton Court on the River Thames, the floods at Marly-le-Roi in 1875, and the Gothic church at Moret-sur-Loing. He also produced notable paintings portraying riverside scenes on the Seine in the suburbs west of Paris throughout his career.

The Seine at Port-Marly, Piles of Sand by Alfred Sisley (1875) is currently displayed at Art Institute of Chicago.
