The Seine at Argenteuil (La Seine à Argenteuil), 1875 by Claude Monet

The Seine at Argenteuil (La Seine à Argenteuil), painted by Claude Monet in 1875, follows a sunlit towpath lined by a leaning tree and a low fence as it curves along the riverbank, with strolling figures and a white sailboat drifting on the water beyond. Soft clouds drift across a pale sky, and loose, breezy brushwork captures the everyday leisure of the riverside town where Monet lived through much of the 1870s. The canvas reflects the calm, sunlit character of his many Argenteuil river views.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1875.
