Product Description
The Meadow is an painting by Alfred Sisley, now in section (French Impressionist landscapes) in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. It shows a scene near Louveciennes – Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted the same view of Louveciennes that year as Path Through Tall Herbs. It is described in the catalogue of count Armand Doria’s collection as: The meadow, where herbs grow, is enamelled in flowers, daisies, poppies, blueberries. Two little girls in blue aprons and straw hats with red and blue ribbons gather there. To the right, a wooden fence, behind which a few clumps of trees raise their blonde foliage. And further away, countryside as far as the horizon, whose crops climb the flanks of the hills, under a blue sky, edged with white clouds.
