The discovery of Alfred Sisley’s monogram is a break-through in French Impressionism. Unlocking the design and audacious location integral to  ”How to See” the unobtrusive monogram.

The famous Lesson painting is understood by the forth-coming monogram, to be a portrait of Pierre. Compare our analysis with Richard Shone’s  in 'Sisley’  (Phaidon Press).

The Footbridge painting, likely a canvas from the Bougival studio which French Impressionism has waited to see. And shows how Sisley introduced the impressionist palette into his work.
