Sisley visited Wales on many occasions and painted at least eleven landscape oil paintings of the Gower Peninsular.

During his lifetime, he produced many artworks, with an estimated 900 oil paintings, drawings, and pastels. However, the Nazis looted many of Sisley's Impressionist paintings, some of which remain lost.
