Sailing at Argenteuil, painted by Claude Monet around 1874, captures a lone sailboat with its crew easing past a small wooden landing on the Seine, its red hull and pale sail mirrored in the rippling current. A second white sail glides in the middle distance while rowers cross the basin under a soft, hazy sky. The scene belongs to Monet's celebrated Argenteuil years, when the riverside town's boating culture supplied him with an endless study of light, water, and motion just outside Paris.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1874.
