The background is adorned with a line of delicate, elongated trees and a panoramic view of distant hills under a vast, lightly clouded sky. This work is emblematic of Sisley’s mastery in depicting natural scenery and his sensitive handling of light and atmosphere, transporting the viewer into a peaceful countryside moment. Sisley's brushwork gives a vibrant vitality to the foliage and the textures of the field, while the overall composition invites a sense of calm and reflection.

Alfred Sisley (1839–1899), an English impressionist artist, was renowned for his breathtaking impressionist landscape paintings. Born in 1839 to a wealthy family in Paris, Sisley spent most of his life in France. Despite being intended for a career in commerce, he rebelled and pursued his passion for painting as an amateur in the studio of Charles Gleyre, where he befriended artists Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The financial loss of his family in the Franco-German War led Sisley to make a career out of his art, though it left him financially distressed. It wasn't until after his passing in 1899 that the true value of his work was recognized.
