Description

Alfred Sisley’s Four Geese by the River is a delicate pastel drawing that captures a tranquil riverside scene. The composition is defined by horizontal bands of striated color, alternating between blue and green, representing the sky, river, and land. Against this serene backdrop, four geese stand as the focal point, a motif Sisley revisited throughout his later career. The simplicity of detail emphasizes atmosphere over precision, evoking a quiet, contemplative mood.
