| Description |  |
Sisley established himself in the area in 1880 and settled permanently in Moret in 1889. Shortly after Courbet exhibited a group of snowy landscapes in 1867, several younger artists, among them Monet, Renoir, and Sisley, explored the possibilities of landscapes executed in white or gray with just a few touches of bright color. Sisley, like Monet, continued to paint snow scenes for the rest of his life. This work is one of the several that Sisley made in winter 1891 at Moret-sur-Long. It depicts the rue Eugène Moussoir, bordered by the wall of the village hospital.
