"La Seine à Bougival" is an Impressionist painting by the British-born artist Alfred Sisley (1839–1899), who spent much of his career in France and was a pivotal figure in the Impressionist movement. The artwork captures a tranquil scene along the banks of the Seine River in Bougival, a small town to the west of Paris that was a popular retreat for artists during the late 19th century. Painted in 1876, this piece is characteristic of Sisley's landscape oeuvre, which frequently depicted the changing qualities of light and atmosphere through his delicate brushwork and keen observation of natural settings.

In "La Seine à Bougival," Sisley employs a palette of soft blues, greens, and earth tones to render the serene flow of the river and the lush foliage of its surroundings. The composition is balanced with the inclusion of figures and boats, which provide a sense of scale and human presence within the vastness of the landscape. The painting's loose brushstrokes and the play of light on water reflect the artist's Impressionist techniques, which sought to capture the fleeting moments of sensory experience rather than the details of the subject matter.

The work is significant as it exemplifies the themes of leisure and the interaction between humans and nature that were central to the Impressionist movement. Bougival, like other suburban locales along the Seine, was a favored spot for Impressionists to explore the effects of light and the modern leisure activities of the burgeoning middle class. Sisley's focus on the river landscape in "La Seine à Bougival" aligns with his personal artistic interest in waterways, which he believed offered an ever-changing subject due to the variability of light and reflection.

"La Seine à Bougival" is held in high regard for its technical execution and its embodiment of the Impressionist ethos. The painting is part of a series of works that Sisley produced on the Seine, contributing to the broader Impressionist narrative that celebrated the beauty of the French countryside and the leisurely pastimes of its inhabitants. As with many of Sisley's paintings, this work is appreciated for its ability to evoke a sense of calm and for its historical value in documenting the landscape and social milieu of the time.
