Claude Monet · 1904 · donation of 1910 to Le Havre · W1664
A few green leaves and pale flowers float on water saturated with blue, mauve and pink. No horizon fixes the gaze: the surface of the pool becomes the entire painting. Monet offered this painting from 1904 to the city of Le Havre in 1910; it is identified Wildenstein 1664.

Look at the work
The almost square framing removes the bridge, the bank and the direct sky. The water lilies, divided into small groups, alone give scale. Some are clearly placed on the water; others blend into reflections until they become simple colored signs.
Vertical blue-purple streaks suggest the reflected trees, while pink and turquoise passages open the surface. Monet superimposes these directions without enclosing them in a classic perspective: the gaze can read water, reflection and paint at the same time.
W1664 no longer represents a landscape around the basin: the landscape now exists inside the water.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
In 1910, the artist offered this painting to his hometown. This direct gift, now kept at MuMa, combines one of his most innovative motifs with Monet's Le Havre history.
The canvas belongs to the phase where Monet focuses his gaze on the sheet of water. Its format of 89 × 93 cm and its Wildenstein number 1664 allow it to be differentiated from the many nearby Water Lilies.
The museum places the work in the work which leads to the forty-eight Water Landscapes presented by Durand-Ruel in 1909. The gradual disappearance of topographical landmarks announces a more decorative and more abstract painting.
Reference image
Only one image is used: the complete view of W1664, preserved as a real WebP of 1,200 × 1,150 px, without artificial enlargement.
The leaves form neither grid nor regular crown. Their gaps and changes in scale create the movement of the gaze, particularly between the lower zone and the center.
Water color results from multiple layers. Cool tones dominate, but pink passages warm up the reflections and prevent the surface from becoming uniform.
The flowers and leaves have short, sometimes thick accents. On the contrary, reflections require longer and more transparent gestures. Their superposition creates the spatial ambiguity specific to the work.
Documented benchmarks
The MuMa of Le Havre dates this painting from 1904, indicates a format of 89 × 93 cm and recalls the artist's gift to the city in 1910; it corresponds to Wildenstein 1664.
This almost square oil on canvas measures 89 × 93 cm. Its arrangement of leaves and reflections makes it possible to identify this particular version in Giverny's vast corpus.
Monet himself offered the work to the city of Le Havre. This direct provenance constitutes an essential landmark of its material history.
Monet transforms a pool that he had converted into a pictorial laboratory. Here, the absence of shore and horizon focuses all attention on reflections, depths and floating flowers.
