A foreground that catches the eye
The edge of the cliff occupies a large part of the canvas. Its dense vegetation gives the sensation of being placed a few steps from the void.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · Pourville · 1882 · W757
From the flowery edge of a cliff in Pourville, the gaze descends towards the sea and a second blue coast which is lost in the mist. Painted in 1882, this oil on canvas measuring 60 × 73 cm is deposited at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart under the number L 1531 and corresponds to Wildenstein 757.

Look at the work
The foreground forms a grassy curve which advances from the left then plunges towards a small cove. The coastline starts again in the distance on the right. No character interrupts this elevated viewpoint.
Greens, yellows and roses enliven the edge of the cliff; blue, gray and purple cool the sea and distant reliefs. The short touches of the meadow oppose the calmer bands of the water.
In W757, depth arises from a simple contrast: the nearby cliff is tactile and flowery, while the distant coast dissolves into blue.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The edge of the cliff occupies a large part of the canvas. Its dense vegetation gives the sensation of being placed a few steps from the void.
The nearby promontory, cove, middle cliff and distant cape overlap. Their gradual cooling produces distance.
Herbs and flowers are not drawn separately. The brief, inclined gestures give the terrain a vibration that evokes maritime air.
Reference image
Only one exact image of W757 is used. The real WebP measures 640 × 526 px, available public resolution preserved without artificial enlargement.
This line leads towards the cove and organizes the entire view. An outline that is too straight or too sharp would eliminate its natural movement.
The roses and yellows should appear in small scattered touches. Detailed bouquets would change the scale and divert from the coast.
The remote cape must remain less contrasted than the foreground. Strengthening it would flatten it to the same level as the nearby cliff.
Documented benchmarks
The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart documents Edge of the cliff in Pourville, oil on canvas from 1882, 60 × 73 cm, inventory L 1531 and Wildenstein 757.
The painting has been presented at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart as a long-term loan since 2021, under number L 1531.
Monet returns for several months around Pourville and multiplies the views from the beach, the paths and the top of the cliffs.
The flower foreground without character and the cape which extends to the right distinguish this work from the Walk on Cliff W758 preserved in Chicago.
