Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1894 · Kreeger 1965.6 · W1371
A large bouquet of trees occupies the left bank and is reflected in the Seine. Beyond, the hill of Port-Villez-Jeufosse unfolds in a pink, gray and blue light. The river appears almost still, but the horizontal touches and fragmented reflections prevent the surface from freezing.

Look at the work
The Kreeger Museum precisely identifies the direction of gaze: upstream, with the hill of Port-Villez-Jeufosse in the background. The group of trees on the left forms a very close vertical mass, while the opposite bank is reduced to a long low strip.
Pink is not just for the sky. It crosses the hill, the bank and the water, mixed with dark greens, mauves and grays. This repetition unites the planes, but the darker reflection of the trees maintains a clear depth in the foreground.
W1371 does not only represent a pink sky: the color becomes a continuous atmosphere that connects the hill, the banks and the river.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
Jean-Pierre Hoschedé, Monet's son-in-law, reports that this work was painted from a boat. This low position explains the importance of the water surface and the close framing of the clump of trees.
The trees on the left are dense, almost tactile, while the hill dissolves in the light. The copy must maintain this contrast of sharpness without hardening the distant bank.
Grays, blues and yellows constantly modulate the pink passages. Fidelity depends on these variations: a uniform shade would remove mist and depth from the landscape.
Reference image
The single reference image measures 1,320 × 859 px. It remains at its native definition in real WebP, without artificial enlargement.
The bouquet of trees anchors the left and leaves the rest of the panorama open. Its reflection descends almost vertically, but fragments upon contact with the horizontal touches of the river.
The palette alternates warm, very soft and cold muffled tones. The dark green of the trees serves as a measure and by contrast reveals the pink light of the distance.
The horizontal keys overlap, then change length near the reflection. This organization must remain flexible to avoid scratched or too regular water.
Documented benchmarks
These data relate exactly to the Kreeger Museum painting, accession 1965.6 and Wildenstein catalog 1371.
This oil on canvas from 1894 measures 25 3/4 × 39 1/2 inches, or approximately 65.4 × 100.3 cm. It is signed and dated 94 at the bottom left.
David and Carmen Kreeger acquired the painting in 1965. It now bears the number 1965.6 and is noted as on display in the permanent collection.
The museum notice locates the view upstream and recognizes the hill of Port-Villez-Jeufosse in the background, a precise landmark which distinguishes this version from the other views in the series.

Fidelity here depends on precise relationships between light, touch, depth and color temperature.
