Technical

Cleaned, varnished, retouching and one small repair on the back, original frame, excellent condition.

Unframed: H 130 cm, W 193 cm

Moret-sur-Loing = small town on the Île-de-France.

Quittner's teacher, Alfred Sisley, spent the last years of his life there.

Sisley's depictions of the Seine and its tributaries and bridges in then Parisian
suburbs are famous and probably served as a model for Quittner's painting (the
bridge, which was unfortunately blown up during the Second World War, architecture, the tranquil river Loing ...).
