Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1891 · Poplar Series · W1298
A row of poplars rises in a milky blue sky, then repeats in Epte under the dark strip of the shore. Painted in 1891, this 100.3 × 65.2 cm vertical oil on canvas is kept at the Philadelphia Museum of Art under number 1954-66-8 and corresponds to Wildenstein 1298.

Look at the work
The trees tighten to the right and leave more sky to the left. Their tops remain visible, unlike several more radically cut versions of the series. Very low, the bank forms a dark line which stops the trunks before their reflections begin again in the water.
The foliage combines soft green, yellow, pink and orange on a gray blue background. The barrels change from ocher to purple and some are covered with blue-green ivy. In the river, the same tones fragment into more vertical and more melted touches.
W1298 builds its balance between poplar momentum, the horizontal bar of the shore and the unstable recovery of trees in the water.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The smallest and lightest trees appear on the left; taller, darker trunks focus to the right. This progression gives movement to the row without a drawn perspective.
The strip of dark earth is narrow but essential. It separates the real world from its reflection, anchors the trunks and intensifies the yellows and roses placed just above.
Number 1954-66-8 and reference W1298 identify the vertical canvas of Philadelphia. They avoid confusing it with The Three Trees of Tokyo, The Four Trees of the Met or the wind-tilted poplars of the Musée d'Orsay.
Reference image
Only one image is used: a high-resolution photograph of version 1954-66-8, converted to a true 2000 × 3000 px WebP from a 3456 × 5184 px source, without artificial enlargement.
The peaks form an upward slope and the trunks are neither parallel nor evenly spaced. Maintaining these gaps gives the alignment its natural character.
Yellows and pinks are mixed with gray greens and blues. They should remain bright without becoming saturated, as the fresh air unifies the entire scene.
Above the bank, the trunks are firmer and the foliage more punctuated. In the water, the shapes lengthen and blur; this difference makes the reflection credible.
Documented benchmarks
The Philadelphia Museum of Art documents Poplars on the Bank of the Epte River, oil on canvas 1891, inventory 1954-66-8.
Monet painted more than twenty views of the Epte trees during the summer and autumn of 1891. The variations relate to light, season, number of trunks and their cutting in the frame.
The painting belongs to the history of the Durand-Ruel gallery, which plays a decisive role in the presentation and distribution of Monet's impressionist series.
The work entered the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1954 by the bequest of Anne Thomson, in memory of her father Frank Thomson and her mother Mary Elizabeth Clarke Thomson.
