Focus on Chemin de la Machine, Louveciennes and analyze the Description.
It is an oil on canvas that measures 54 × 73 cm, a large size. The clarity of the sky which accentuates the impression of cold contrasts with the brown tones of the ground which are reinforced by the oblique light. The road running perpendicular to the surface of the painting gives the illusion of a three-dimensional representation. The impression of depth is reinforced by the row of trees, punctuating the trunks and their shadows with vertical and horizontal lines. The rise creates an off-center vanishing point, towards a bird's eye view of the sunny background. Like Johan Barthold Jongkind, Sisley humanizes the landscape, introducing small silhouettes.
