The artwork, titled “Bassin de Marly,” was created by the artist Alfred Sisley in the year 1875. Executed using oil on canvas, this piece is a notable example of the Impressionist movement. The painting, a landscape, measures 46 x 61 cm and is housed at the Kunsthaus Zürich in Zürich, Switzerland.
The artwork presents a serene outdoor scene, capturing a moment in time with the characteristic brushstrokes and light interplay emblematic of Impressionism. A pair of figures stands on the left, accompanied by a small child, seemingly engaged in conversation. The scene is dominated by trees with lush foliage, a clear sky with intermittent clouds, and architectural elements suggesting a controlled natural environment. The overall ambiance is tranquil, with a light, airy quality that invites the viewer to appreciate the subtleties of nature and human presence within the landscape.
