( 6675 ) Sisley is a main belt asteroid of the outer, which was discovered on 29 September 1973 by the Dutch astronomer Cornelis Johannes van Houten couple and Ingrid van Houten - Groeneveld. The discovery happened during the 2nd Trojan survey, in which the 120 - cm Oschin Schmidt telescope at Palomar Observatory recorded by Tom Gehrels field plates at Leiden University were screened, 13 years after the beginning of the Palomar - Leiden Surveys.

Mean distance from the sun ( semimajor axis), eccentricity and inclination of the orbital plane of the asteroid roughly correspond to the Themis family, a group of asteroids, which was named after ( 24) Themis. After FORMING classification (Small Main -Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey) were assumed in ( 6675 ) Sisley by a dark surface at a spectroscopic investigation of Gianluca Masi, Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel, it might be so, roughly speaking, to act a C- asteroids.

( 6675 ) Sisley was named after the French Impressionist painter Alfred Sisley on 4 April 1996.
