In this work, Sisley depicts the bridge of Moret-sur-Loing, a small town near Paris, under the influence of an impending storm. Dark clouds gather in the sky, creating a tense atmosphere. The bridge spanning the river is the focal point of the composition, reflected in the calm waters of the Loing.

Sisley uses a dark, dramatic color palette to create a stormy mood, with tones of gray, blue and green. The brushstrokes are quick and energetic, giving a sense of movement and urgency to the scene.

This painting demonstrates Sisley's ability to capture the immediacy of nature and express the changing atmosphere of a scene. "The Bridge of Moret-sur-Loing; Storm Effect" is an example of his commitment to the Impressionist movement, which sought to depict the effects of light and atmosphere in real time.
