No. 68 ITE BE MO RET SUR WING EX MARXE BY ALFRED SISLEY No. us AI.riiHl) SIS LEV FRENCH ( 1840-1899) WE DI-: MORET SUR LOING EN MARNE A BROAD, well-travelled road runs through the picture fromthe left foreground, bends to the left and disappears in themiddle distance. On either side a row of tall poplars bordersthe roadway, their hare and leafless branches thrust out boldlyagainst the sky. To right and left the ground slopes down-ward into marshy meadows evidently Hooded in times ofstorm. Parallel to the road on the right runs a narrow, swift-Howing river, which loses itself, foaming, beneath the caver-nous arches of a bridge. On the further hank the houses ofthe small town crowd right up to the waters edge, dominatedby the massive walls and slender tower of a large church. Thesky is covered with a thin veil of cloud, the deep blue of theheavens appearing here and there through the rifts. A few-cows feed in the pasture by the river and sonic peasants arewalking along the road. Signet!
