Description
This 1876 portrait shows the painter Alfred Sisley leaning on the back of a bamboo chair, chin resting on his fist, his bearded face turned slightly downward in quiet thought. He wears a dark coat with a plain white collar, and Renoir sets him against a deep, mottled green backdrop with a pale blue-grey wall glimpsed beside him. The painting is held today at the Art Institute of Chicago, a study in stillness between two friends and fellow painters.
As a wall-art reproduction, this portrait works well as a museum-quality canvas or fine-art print for a study, office, or reading room. It is made to order in a choice of sizes and finishes to suit the wall you have in mind.
The deep greens and dark coat reproduce with the same quiet, contemplative mood as the original oil painting.
