The piece was a special commission ordered by the French government, which sought to encourage the French people to join in the post-war reconstruction efforts. Following World War I, the French government was destitute. The cost of the Great War had been tremendous not only in lives lost but also in terms of infrastructure and finances. To reclaim its place as a great power on the world stage, France needed funds to reconstruct its key industries, and quickly. Thus, the government turned to one of the most famous French artists of the day - Raoul Dufy - to create this gouache on paper to advertise the country's war bonds.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The extraordinary work represents Dufy's own sense of patriotic duty. Entirely unique in his oeuvre, it is clear that Dufy wished to create something truly special to help his war-torn country. The artist deftly captures the industry of France in the colorful composition, showcasing bridges, buildings, ships and other key elements of the country's infrastructure to evoke the viewers' pride, patriotism and willingness to help. The words \u003cem\u003eEmprunt 6% Souscrivez (War Loan 6% Subscribe)\u003c\/em\u003e are boldly written across the top, seeking subscribers to a 6% interest loan to help rebuild the country - a very healthy return for the age. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The powerful painting represents one of the most effective and extensive patriotic campaigns of all time. France relied heavily on the willingness of its citizens to lend money to the government during World War I. By the war's end, however, the war-weary public required greater incentive to purchase war loans, so higher interest rates as well as extensive public relations campaigns were needed to sell government bonds. With the purchase of a war loan, every person could make a difference - and earn a significant return on their investment. Dufy's exceptional composition appealed to his countrymen's sense of patriotism, duty and pride, resulting in one of the most successful war and reconstruction funding campaigns of the modern age. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Aside from its historic importance, the work is exemplary of Dufy's highly modern and distinctive style. The dynamism of the scene is perfectly translated through the artist's vivacious experiments in color and movement. He combines bold and spontaneous black outlines with broad areas of vivid color, creating dynamic planes that captivate the viewer. The resulting work is colorful and full of vigor, displaying the bright fluidity for which Dufy is so loved. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born in Le Havre, Normandy, both Dufy and his brother Jean showed a talent for drawing at an early age. He would eventually enroll in the École d'Art in La Havre, and later, the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After viewing Matisse's Luxe, Calme et Volupte in 1904, Dufy adopted the bright color and flat compositions of the Fauvists. By 1909, the artist sought more austerity in his painting, and he became drawn to the works of Cézanne and the Cubists. From this point forward, Dufy's compositions presented a blend of the ideals upheld by these two artistic groups. His use of bold lines and colors, dynamic brushstrokes and other painterly qualities found in his paintings are a testament to his unique Expressionist ideals. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This important work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Mme.

The work displays a thick impasto thanks to the artist's distinctive technique of applying his paint in quick dabs, a characteristic of his later works. One of the foremost painters of the Post-Impressionist period, Laugé’s works are beloved for his sensitivity to light, shade and tone, and his mastery of medium is clearly on display in \u003cem\u003eAlmond Trees in Spring\u003c\/em\u003e. The light blue of the sky and the more muted colors of the field, along with the cottony white and pink tones of the blossoming trees create a scenic and calm composition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born in 1861 to wealthy farmers, he moved to Toulouse at the age of 17 to study pharmacy. At this time, he also enrolled part-time at the school of the Beaux-Arts, where he befriended the artist Bourdelle. Three years later, he moved to Paris, where he studied under the famous masters Alexandre Cabandel and Aristide Maillol, making his debut at the \u003cem\u003eSalon\u003c\/em\u003e in 1884. Like many other artists of his generation, Laugé eventually rejected the conservative ideals of this teacher, falling under the Post-Impressionist influence of George Seurat. By 1888, his landscapes became assiduous experiments in complementary colors and light on canvas. He exhibited three paintings at the \u003cem\u003e Salon des Indépendants\u003c\/em\u003e in 1894, as well as with the Nabis that same year. In addition, Laugé held several one-man shows in Paris, Toulouse and Perpignan from 1907 to 1930. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was after his departure from Paris that Laugé developed his divisionist technique, following the lead of Seurat and the Pointillists. Although Laugé never adopted Seurat’s scientific attitude, his interest in the primacy and division of color resulted in work with a vivid, translucent palette. From 1888 until about 1896, Laugé composed his pictures with small points of color. At the end of the century, he abandoned the dots and dabs and painted his landscapes, portraits and still-lives with thin, systematically placed strokes resembling crosshatching. After 1905, he applied his pigments more freely, with enlarged strokes and thick impasto that brought him closer to a traditional impressionist technique whilst maintaining his ability to paint the translucence of southern light. Today, his exceptional works can be found in museums throughout France, including the Musée D'Orsay in Paris. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 21\" high x 28 1\/2\" wide\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 32 3\/4\" high x 40\" wide \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Galleris Maurice Sternberg, Chicago\u003cbr\u003e Private collection, Texas, 1975\u003cbr\u003e Private collection, Broadway, UK\u003cbr\u003e M.S.

During his lifetime, Achille Laugé was celebrated by his peers and the public alike for producing dazzling works with subtly divided southern light, pure tones and rigorous geometry. His reputation continued to grow after his death, and today the art market recognizes him as a master of Neo-Impressionism. Though his command of the pointillist and divisionist styles often draws comparison to his Neo-Impressionist peers like Seurat and Signac, Laugé approached the style with his own unique sensibility. Laugé‘s oeuvre showcases his taste for monumental, static art emphasizing rhythm, line and purity. More personally, Laugé was deeply inspired by his hometown's natural beauty and familiarity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Garden Near Cailhau\u003c\/em\u003e depicts a quintessential scene from the artist — a touching tribute to his beloved home. Featuring a road flanked by trees and bathed in sunlight, the flowering trees that line the path merge with the pointillist dots to create a stunning visual effect. The tree-lined path recedes into the distance towards the commune of Cailhau on top of a hill. The composition masterfully combines all the principles of divisionism while staying true to Laugé’s roots. Marked by a luminous color palette and a robust paint application that causes the scene to emerge in three dimensions, it is among the finest of Laugé’s output, and the canvas remains in its original unlined state in perfect condition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The son of a farmer, Achille Laugé initially opted for a career as a pharmacist before giving up his studies to enroll at the Toulouse School of Fine Arts in 1876. During his apprenticeship, he met Antoine Bourdelle, Henri Martin and Henri Marre, who encouraged him to go to Paris in 1882 to study at the École des Beaux-Arts. It was in Paris in the early 1890s that Laugé discovered the paintings of Seurat and Signac. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He was encouraged by Bourdelle, who told him, \"You bring a very personal vision, a great deal of serene logic and a beautiful gift of unity in the love of the luminous air that reigns even in your shadows\" — very high praise from a peer! After his sojourn to Paris, Laugé returned to his childhood home of Cailhau near Carcassonne in the Aude, establishing himself permanently in somewhat relative isolation and only exhibiting on the rare occasion at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris. It was within this strategic isolation that the artist refined his point of view and honed his individual stylistic language. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born in 1861 to wealthy farmers, he moved to Toulouse at the age of 17 to study pharmacy.

His early adherence to conventional academic principles brought him recognition from the Paris Salon at the remarkably young age of 23. Following this early success, Martin was awarded a state-sponsored journey to Italy—an experience that would fundamentally transform his artistic vision. His encounters with the frescoes of early Renaissance masters Giotto and Masaccio prompted a profound reconsideration of light's expressive potential, catalyzing his gradual movement away from academic conventions toward the more progressive techniques of Impressionism.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Throughout his career, Martin experimented with various avant-garde pictorial strategies, producing significant works that incorporated elements of Divisionism, Symbolism and Pointillism while maintaining his distinctive artistic voice.

Additionally, he was influenced by renowned Impressionist artists such as Maximilien Luce, Camille Pissarro and Lucien Pissarro, who were close family friends drawn to Lagny-sur-Marne for its picturesque landscapes. At seventeen, Cortès furthered his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

The shimmering azure waters, sun-warmed rock formations and luminous coastal light of the île d'Ouessant—one of Moret's most beloved and frequently revisited motifs—are rendered with a vibrancy and technical mastery that place this canvas among the finest examples of Post-Impressionist landscape painting available outside a museum collection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The composition pulses with chromatic energy.

His attachment to Brittany began during his military service and deepened through his close association with Paul Gauguin and the Nabis, whose bold approach to color permanently transformed his palette. The île d'Ouessant, perched at the western extreme of the Breton coast, became a defining subject in Moret's oeuvre — its ever-changing seas and skies offering an inexhaustible source of painterly inspiration. By 1897, when this work was executed, Moret had secured a pivotal relationship with the influential dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, who championed his work across Europe and the United States and presented him with a coveted solo exhibition in 1898. As fellow artist Maxime Mofra observed, \"Coasts, forests, valleys, in every season Moret observed them with all his senses, reproducing them with all his spirit and sincerity.\" Today, Moret's Brittany paintings are held by world-famous institutions, among them the Musée d'Orsay, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This work is listed in Jean-Yves Rolland’s archives and will be included in the catalogue raisonné currently in preparation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Painted 1897 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 21\" high x 25\" wide (53.3 x 63.5 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 29 3\/8\" high x 33 1\/2\" wide x 3\" deep (74.6 x 85.1 x 7.6 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rau-sfimages.s3.amazonaws.com\/dossier\/Dossier_32-2137.pdf\" target=\"new\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eView the Dossier\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Galerie Abels, Cologne:\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, Germany:\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, France:\u003cbr\u003e M.S.

The scene is animated yet harmonious, unified by a luminous palette that evokes the crisp maritime air and shifting light of the English coast. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dufy’s lifelong fascination with the sea found particular expression during his travels to England between 1925 and 1935, where he frequented regattas and coastal events. In Cowes, he rediscovered the spirit of the Normandy sea of his childhood. Born in Le Havre, he maintained an enduring connection to maritime life, which became a defining theme throughout his career. Initially influenced by Impressionism and later associated with Fauvism, Dufy developed a highly personal style characterized by decorative elegance and a joyful sensibility. Today, he is regarded as one of the most distinctive voices of early 20th-century French art, with works held in major institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Circa 1929 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 10 1\/4\" high x 27 1\/4\" wide (26.04 x 69.22 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 20 1\/4\" high x 37 3\/8\" wide x 2 3\/8\" deep (51.31 x 94.81 x 5.91 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exhibited:\u003cbr\u003e Château de la Vigne, Bondues, Brittany, École de Paris, Collections privées du Nord, 1967, catalog no. 78 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Literature:\u003cbr\u003e Raymond Cogniat, \u003cem\u003eRaoul Dufy\u003c\/em\u003e, 1962, illustrated pl. 9\u003cbr\u003e Maurice Laffaille, \u003cem\u003eRaoul Dufy: Catalogue raisonné de l’oeuvre peint\u003c\/em\u003e, Volume 2, 1973, illustrated p. 380, no. 910 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Collection of Ali Khan\u003cbr\u003e Galerie Charpentier, Paris, May 23, 1957, lot 41\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, Nova Scotia\u003cbr\u003e M.S.

Displaying one of his iconic rural scenes, this rare masterpiece offers one of the most singular and delightful ways of experiencing Pissarro’s celebrated vision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Inspired by Japanese art and encouraged by Edgar Degas, Pissarro began experimenting with fans in the late 1870s, exhibiting 12 examples at the 1879 Impressionist exhibition alongside his paintings. What was once a decorative object became, in Pissarro’s hands, a highly inventive work of art. Other artists such as Gauguin and later Bonnard also explored the fan format, but Pissarro perhaps embraced it most fully, helping transform the fan into one of the era’s most elegant experiments in modern composition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this example, the sweeping crescent shape of the fan offered Pissarro a compositional challenge unlike the traditional canvas, allowing him to unfold the landscape in a panoramic arc. Figures gather along a rustic fence, drawing the viewer into the foreground while the countryside opens behind them. The result is intimate yet expansive, offering Pissarro a place to reimagine the countryside he loved.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fewer than 100 fans by modern artists of this period are believed to exist, making each surviving example exceptionally rare. Comparable examples by Pissarro have gone for impressive sums at auction and now reside in leading museum collections worldwide, including the Musée d’Orsay, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Van Gogh Museum and the Brooklyn Museum. The importance of these works continues to receive institutional attention today, with the Musée d’Orsay showcasing an exhibition of 17 Impressionist fans this year.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Known as the \"Father of Impressionism,\" Camille Pissarro was the only painter to exhibit in all eight of the Impressionist exhibitions. His revolutionary approach to painting and thought-provoking compositions had a profound effect on his contemporaries and the future of modern art, and his works can be found in many of the most important museums and private collections throughout the world.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This work will be included in the forthcoming Camille Pissarro Digital Catalogue Raisonné, currently being prepared under the sponsorship of the Wildenstein Plattner Institute. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Circa 1885 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Paper: 15\" high x 25\" wide (38.10 x 63.50 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 17\" high x 27 1\/2\" wide x 1\" deep (43.18 x 69.85 x 2.54 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Jeanne \u0026amp; Alexandre Bonin Collection, Paris (the artist's daughter and son-in-law) by descent from the artist circa 1903\u003cbr\u003e Sale of the above, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, June 26, 1931, lot 22\u003cbr\u003e Madame Zimmerman Collection, Paris (acquired at the above sale)\u003cbr\u003e Private collection, Paris (by descent from the above)\u003cbr\u003e Sale of the above, Sotheby's, London, April 4, 1990, lot 107\u003cbr\u003e Private collection, acquired at the above sale through Legatt Brothers, London\u003cbr\u003e M.S.

Though best remembered as one of the founders of Dada, Picabia’s artistic language was never confined to a single movement. Over the course of his life, he embraced abstraction, photorealism, Classicism and Impressionism, revealing an extraordinary capacity for reinvention. This vibrant oil on canvas stands as a brilliant example of his Impressionist period, when he explored color, light and atmosphere with exceptional confidence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Painted in 1905, \u003cem\u003eEffet de soleil (avril); Sur les bords du Loing\u003c\/em\u003e belongs to a formative period in Picabia’s career. After meeting the two sons of the legendary Impressionist Camille Pissarro in 1902, Picabia began painting landscape scenes \u003cem\u003een plein air\u003c\/em\u003e, turning his attention to the shifting effects of light and nature. In this composition, dappled sunlight filters through a canopy of green and gold leaves, casting flickering reflections across the riverbank. Broad, expressive strokes define the trees, water and distant architecture, giving the scene a vivid sense of warmth and atmospheric movement. A small figure in a boat adds quiet human presence to the radiant riverside landscape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By 1905, Picabia had achieved significant recognition for his Impressionist works, exhibiting them in Parisian salons to considerable acclaim. Critics praised him as a promising French landscape painter, and the French government purchased one of his works. Yet Picabia’s restless creativity soon led him beyond Impressionism. By 1908, elements of Fauvism and Cubism began to appear in his paintings, signaling the beginning of the stylistic evolution that would become one of the defining features of his career. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Picabia’s openness to transformation ultimately placed him at the center of European modernism. Alongside Marcel Duchamp and Guillaume Apollinaire, he helped shape Dada, one of the most influential movements of the early 20th century. He also worked in poetry, graphic art, set design and film, extending his ideas across a remarkable range of creative forms. In 2016, the Museum of Modern Art in New York honored this expansive legacy with the retrospective, \u003cem\u003eFrancis Picabia: Our Heads Are Round so Our Thoughts Can Change Direction\u003c\/em\u003e. As exhibition curator Ann Umland wrote, “The world of art is a richer, more complicated, more unpredictable place because of him.” His works are held in important public collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Solomon R.

Painted in 1907, the canvas captures the bustling energy of Rotterdam’s harbor through a dazzling harmony of turquoise, violet, blue and sea-green, transforming an industrial port into a scene of extraordinary atmospheric beauty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Luce was uniquely suited to this subject. Throughout his career, he found poetry in the modern working world, depicting laborers, construction sites, factories, bridges, ports and city streets with uncommon dignity and brilliance. Rotterdam offered him the perfect union of the themes that defined his art. In this painting, smoke rises from the dark hull of a steamship in soft plumes of lavender and gray, while the harbor glimmers beneath a pale, expansive sky. Rather than presenting industry as harsh or mechanical, Luce renders it radiant and alive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Rotterdam subject also holds special significance within the history of Neo-Impressionism. In the spring of 1907, Paul Signac exhibited his monumental \u003cem\u003eLe Port de Rotterdam\u003c\/em\u003e, now in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, at the Salon des Indépendants, inspiring renewed interest among avant-garde painters in the Dutch harbor. Later that year, Luce traveled to the Netherlands with Kees van Dongen, the Rotterdam-born Fauve artist, and produced a group of works inspired by the port and its surroundings. \u003cem\u003eRotterdam, Scène de Port\u003c\/em\u003e belongs to this important artistic moment, when the harbor became a modern subject worthy of the most advanced color theories of the age. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born in Paris in 1858, Luce first trained as a wood engraver before studying painting and joining the Neo-Impressionist circle in the 1880s. He exhibited with the Société des Artistes Indépendants and became closely associated with Seurat, Signac and Pissarro. Though he later adopted a broader and freer handling of paint, he remained committed throughout his career to brilliant color, modern subjects and the lives of working people. His works are held in major museum collections, including the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dated 1907 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 20 3\/4\" high x 24 3\/4\" wide (52.7 x 62.9 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Framed: 28 1\/2\" high x 32 1\/2\" wide x 3\" deep (72.4 x 82.6 x 7.6 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Sale: Palais Galliera, Paris, 16th June 1961, lot 179\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, Switzerland\u003cbr\u003e Sale of the above, Sotheby's, London, 29th March 1984, lot 535\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, Kentucky, purchased at the above sale\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, USA\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, Europe\u003cbr\u003e Stern Pissarro Gallery, London\u003cbr\u003e Private collection, London\u003cbr\u003e M.S.

This stunning view of the Seine, \u003cem\u003eLe Lavoir de Billancourt\u003c\/em\u003e, was painted during the artist's golden period and captures the light, atmosphere and immediacy that have made Sisley so prized. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One of Impressionism's purest landscape painters, Sisley devoted himself almost entirely to working directly before nature. After the upheaval of the Franco-Prussian War and the Siege of Paris, he moved with his family west of the city. There, along the winding Seine valley, he found the landscape that would define his career—villages, river bends, bridges, working towns and open skies, all transformed by season, weather and time of day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The artist’s devotion to this place is immediately felt in \u003cem\u003eLe Lavoir de Billancourt\u003c\/em\u003e. The river glistens with reflected light, while the soft sky, airy brushwork and delicate tonal harmonies give the landscape a remarkable sense of freshness and calm. At the center of the composition is a washing house, where locals paid a small fee to wash clothes directly in the Seine. In Sisley’s hands, this humble structure is absorbed into the rhythm of river, sky and shore, brilliantly transformed into a scene of pure splendor. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sisley was born in Paris to affluent English parents, who supported him financially until the age of 31 when his father lost his merchant trading company. His early years of financial comfort allowed Sisley to practice his art without concern. In 1860, he studied with Monet, Renoir and Bazille in the atelier of Marc-Charles Gabriel Gleyre. It was here that he learned the technique of painting \u003cem\u003een plein air\u003c\/em\u003e to better capture the effects of light in nature. His serene views of the Seine, Loing and Île-de-France helped define the visual language of Impressionism, and his works can now be found in major museums worldwide, including the Musée d’Orsay, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery in London, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This work is accompanied by its certificate of authenticity from the Comité Alfred Sisley and will be included in the forthcoming new edition of the catalogue raisonné being prepared by Galerie Brame \u0026amp; Lorenceau. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Painted 1879 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 19 1\/4” high x 25 1\/2” wide (62.9 x 76.8 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Framed: 30 1\/4” high x 37” wide x 4” deep (76.8 x 94 x 10.2 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Henri Poidatz, Paris\u003cbr\u003e Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, April 27, 1900, lot 79\u003cbr\u003e Georges Petit, acquired at the above sale\u003cbr\u003e Sale: Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, March 4-5, 1921, lot 113\u003cbr\u003e Comte de Lanscay, Paris\u003cbr\u003e Hôtel Drouot, Paris, April 6, 1922, lot 16\u003cbr\u003e Eugène Blot, Paris, acquired at the above sale\u003cbr\u003e Dr. Arthur Charpentier, Paris\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, Switzerland, acquired c. 1950\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, by descent from the above\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, Europe\u003cbr\u003e Private Collection, London \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Literature:\u003cbr\u003e Maximilien Gauthier, \"Hommage à Sisley,\" in L'Art vivant, 1933, no. 170, p. 116 (illustrated)\u003cbr\u003e François Daulte, Alfred Sisley, Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre peint, Paris, 1959, no. 315 (illustrated)\u003cbr\u003e Jacques Lassaigne \u0026amp; Sylvie Gache-Patin, Sisley, Paris, 1982, p. 31 (illustrated)\u003cbr\u003e Mary Anne Stevens, ed., Alfred Sisley, London, 1992, p. 154\u003cbr\u003e Sylvie Brame \u0026amp; François Lorenceau, Alfred Sisley: Catalogue Critique des Peintures et des Pastels, Paris, 2021, p. 155, 488 (illustrated) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exhibited:\u003cbr\u003e Paris, Galerie Georges Petit, Alfred Sisley, 1917, no. 83\u003cbr\u003e Paris, Durand-Ruel, Tableaux de Sisley, 1930, no. 23\u003cbr\u003e Paris, Galerie d'Art Braun, Sisley, 1933, no. 13\u003cbr\u003e Berne, Kunstmuseum, Alfred Sisley, 1958, no. 38\u003cbr\u003e Paris, Musée du Petit-Palais, De Géricault à Matisse, Chefs-d'oeuvre des collections suisses, 1959, no. 126\u003cbr\u003e Schaffhausen, Museum Zu Allerheiligen, Die Welt des Impressionnismus, 1963, no. 125\u003cbr\u003e Minneapolis, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, The Past Rediscovered: French Painting 1800-1900, 1969\u003cbr\u003e Greenwich, CT, The Bruce Museum, Alfred Sisley: Impressionist Master, 21st January - 21st May 2017, illustrated in color in the exhibition catalogue p. 134\u003cbr\u003e Aix-en-Provence, Caumont Centre d'Art, Sisley l'impressioniste, June - October 2017, illustrated in color in the exhibition catalogue p. 134","brand":"M.S.
