Answer

Figure Painting is what separates Sisley from Renoir and Pissarro. While Renoir and Pissarro focused on capturing the beauty of landscapes and everyday scenes, Sisley was primarily interested in depicting human figures in his paintings. He was fascinated by the way light and color interact with the human form and sought to convey the emotions and personalities of his subjects through his brushstrokes.
