Early Morning on the Seine at Giverny (Matin sur la Seine à Giverny), c. 1893 by Claude Monet

Early Morning on the Seine at Giverny, painted by Claude Monet in 1893, captures the hushed, misty stillness of the river at dawn, its banks of poplars and willows dissolving into pale reflections on the water's silvered surface. The painting belongs to Monet's sustained study of the Seine near his Giverny home, where shifting morning light and fog softened the landscape into veils of color rather than distinct form. This quiet, atmospheric approach anticipated the celebrated Mornings on the Seine series Monet would complete later in the decade.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1893.
