A cut foreground which places the viewer in the village
The large brown roof emerges from the lower edge. This proximity avoids the distant panoramic view and gives the impression of observing Giverny from a neighboring slope.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · Giverny · 1886 · W1055
Under winter light, the houses of Giverny squeeze to the bottom of a snow-covered valley. A red-brown roof cuts the foreground, then cream walls, purple trees and an almost faded hill follow one another to the sky. Painted in 1886, this 65 × 81 cm oil on canvas is kept in the Hecht Museum of the University of Haifa under the number ICMS_HCH_P-182 and corresponds to Wildenstein 1055.

Look at the work
The snowy slope descends from the left edge towards a large brown roof placed in the foreground. Behind him, the houses form an irregular strip, then the bare trees close the village before a very pale hill.
Snow is never white: it receives yellow, pink, blue and purple. The roofs mix red, gray and brown ocher; the trees are laid in purple and bluish lines which gradually blend into the sky.
Winter does not remove color: it makes it more discreet, distributed between snow, walls, trees and air until it erases the boundaries of the village.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The large brown roof emerges from the lower edge. This proximity avoids the distant panoramic view and gives the impression of observing Giverny from a neighboring slope.
The central houses remain legible, the trees become a curtain of lines and the hill merges with the sky. Monet thus reflects humidity and diffused light.
Blue, mauve, pink and yellow describe the reliefs of the ground. The clear reserves are never uniform and preserve traces of vegetation and paths.
Reference image
A single exact image of W1055 is used throughout the file and as the sole media for the product. The real WebP measures 1,000 × 768 px, respects the proportions of the work and has not undergone any artificial enlargement.
It gives the scale and depth of W1055; its inclination leads directly towards the central houses.
Snow should retain its subtle yellows, pinks and blues instead of being replaced by pure white.
Its weak separation from the sky creates the foggy atmosphere specific to this winter version.
Documented benchmarks
The Hecht Museum documents The Village of Giverny under the snow, oil on canvas from 1886, 65 × 81 cm, ICMS_HCH_P-182 inventory and Wildenstein 1055 catalog.
Both titles designate the same version W1055. The village-centric title describes more precisely the houses visible in the valley.
The painter observes the village and its surroundings well before the complete development of the water garden. The seasons allow it to take up the same reliefs under opposite lights.
The work belongs to the Hecht Museum and bears the identifier ICMS_HCH_P-182, which confirms the version and its dimensions.
