Avenue of Chestnut Trees at La Celle-Saint-Cloud (French: Allée de châtaigniers à La Celle-Saint-Cloud) or Edge of the Fontainebleau Forest (French: Lisière de la forêt de Fontainebleau) is an 1865 pre-Impressionist painting by Alfred Sisley, produced in the woods at La Celle-Saint-Cloud. It was refused by the Paris Salon of 1867 and bought by Jean-Baptiste Faure in 1877. It was acquired in 1919 by Joseph Duveen, who in 1921 gave it to the Petit Palais, where it still hangs.[2]
