Artwork description
Claude Monet · 1907 · Kuboso Memorial Museum · W1713
A few pink and white water lilies float on water where blue, purple and green overlap. The vertical format narrows the gaze on the surface of the pool, without showing the bank or the sky. Painted in 1907, this version preserved in Izumi transforms the reflection into an unstable depth, animated by scattered leaves.

Look at the work
The main leaves cluster in the upper half, where several pink flowers create bright spots. Their shapes remain irregular and some merge with the spots of color that represent water.
Downwards, water lilies become rarer. The blue, purple and green gestures lengthen and reveal vertical reflections. This gradual reduction in patterns accentuates the depth of the small format.
By removing the horizon, Monet transforms a piece of pool into an autonomous space, where color serves as perspective.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The height of 100 cm and the width of 81 cm require a downward reading. The composition must not be adapted to the landscape, otherwise it will lose its rhythm.
Some leaves appear to float in the foreground, others dissolve in reflections. Differences in sharpness should remain gradual.
Blue and purple dominate, but greens and browns connect them. Pink flowers remain few in number and serve as landmarks throughout the surface.
Reference image
The single reference image measures 1,319 × 1,628 px. It has been converted to true WebP at its native resolution, without artificial enlargement.
The leaves are brought together at the top then more isolated at the bottom. This spacing builds vertical circulation of the gaze.
The cold palette maintains warm passages in the contours and flowers. Faithful reproduction should avoid a monochrome blue.
The leaves are more rounded, the water more vertical and the flowers treated with small accents. These different writings make the pattern readable without a strong drawing.
Documented benchmarks
These landmarks concern the Water Lilies of the Kuboso Memorial Museum of Arts, Wildenstein 1713.
The Izumi Museum preserves this oil on canvas from 1907, 100 cm high and 81 cm wide. The catalog raisonné gives it the number 1713.
In 1907, Monet multiplied the close-up views of the basin. He explored vertical and horizontal framing before the exhibition of the series at Durand-Ruel in 1909.
The sky only appears indirectly, through its reflection in the water. This device removes the horizon and focuses attention on the colorful depth of the pool.
Your reproduction
Fidelity here depends on precise relationships between light, touch, depth and color temperature.
