Artwork description
Claude Monet · Giverny, 1918 · private collection · W1880
A curtain of dark vegetation descends over the pool from the upper edge. On the left, red and white flowers cling to a brighter area; in the center, a red and purple bouquet emerges among the long green touches. The water only appears at the bottom, in the form of horizontal reflections where a few petals float. This large vertical canvas from 1918 retains an exceptionally thick material.

Look at the work
The upper half is structured by two masses. On the left, yellow-green foliage bears several red and white flowers; on the right, the greens turn blue-black and mingle with long purple branches. Between the two, a lighter opening suggests the depth of the garden without showing a sky or horizon.
The gaze descends towards a central bouquet, then towards an orange and brown shore. Below this line, the water unfolds in almost horizontal touches of turquoise, green, red and purple. Pink petals float in the foreground. The signature and date Claude Monet 1918 are placed at the bottom right, just above this aquatic area.
The pond occupies little surface area, but its change of direction transforms the entire upper plant mass into branches and measurable reflections.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

The almost black areas are made of green, blue, purple and brown. The keys should remain visible separately to maintain the depth and freedom of late painting.
The red accents of the left edge then the center organize the path of the gaze. Their saturation contrasts with the greens without spreading uniformly throughout the canvas.
In the lower quarter, the keys clearly change direction. The horizontal turquoise and red markings indicate the basin, while a few long leaves continue to fall from the bank.
Details and visual documents
The additional images show the difficult-to-read passages in the full view and, where it exists, the actual appearance of the work at the museum.


The available photographic reproduction measures 1,366 × 2,000 px. The two details of 1,100 × 900 px are native cropping of the upper part and the pelvis, without artificial enlargement. All three media are true controlled and decodable WebPs.
Documented benchmarks
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
Christie's describes an oil on canvas signed and dated Claude Monet 1918 lower right. The work measures 131.5 × 88.5 cm, was painted in Giverny and appears in the catalog raisonné under number 1880.
The Durand-Ruel and Bernheim-Jeune galleries bought the painting directly from the artist in January 1919. It then moved to Henri Canonne in 1923, before entering a private Swiss collection.
The sales instructions emphasize that the canvas has never been re-coiled. The layers of paint thus retain their density and reliefs, particularly visible in the long touches of the foliage and in the impasto tops.
