'Drying Nets', oil on canvas painting by Alfred Sisley, 1872, Kimbell Art Museum.jpg

Drying Nets or Fishermen Spreading Their Nets is an 1872 oil on canvas painting by Alfred Sisley, now in the Kimbell Art Museum. The painting shows a scene near the village of Villeneuve-la-Garenne.[1]

Like The Seine at Argenteuil painted the same year and The Seine at Port-Marly, Piles of Sand, it shows people at work on the River Seine near Argenteuil, Val-d'Oise. These contrast with much of his other work, which like the other Impressionists shows the Seine as a place of leisure.[2]
