Sisley's work around 1870 showed his interest in the colour impressions of trees and buildings and particularly in the shifting play of light and cloud on a landscape. He painted the waters of the Seine at Bougival or Marly as sensitively as the nuances of snow colour in Pissarro's beloved lanes and gardens of Louveciennes.
