Artwork description
Claude Monet · Poissy · 1882 · W747
A row of lime trees with red, yellow and green foliage unfolds in front of the houses of old Poissy. Seen from a window of Villa Saint-Louis, the clear slope of the foreground descends towards the trees, while the facades and chimneys pile up under a blue-gray sky. Painted in the spring of 1882, this 80.7 × 65 cm vertical oil on canvas bears a signature stamp at the bottom right, belongs to a private collection and corresponds to Wildenstein 747.

Look at the work
Three light trunks structure the lower half and cast long diagonal shadows on the ground. Their crowns come together in a thick and colorful mass which hides part of the houses, revealing windows, roofs and gables in fragments.
The lemon and olive greens of the foliage are crossed by vermilion reds, pinks and dark blues. Above, the facades alternate cream, gray and blue. The sky is painted by large rapid passages, giving the whole a changing late afternoon light.
Monet transforms an urban view into a plant screen: the houses are only discovered between the branches, while the shadows of the lime trees extend their rhythm into the foreground.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The height of the gaze and the immediately visible slope indicate an observation from Villa Saint-Louis. The composition plunges towards the Cours du 14-Juillet before going back towards the houses.
The three trees in the foreground connect the ground, the mass of foliage and the facades. Their irregular spacing avoids a rigid grid and gives a lively rhythm to the vertical format.
The long blue-green and mauve bands in the foreground indicate the direction of the sun. They open the space diagonally and balance the more compact accumulation of houses in the upper part.
Reference image
A single exact image of W747 is used throughout the file and as the sole media for the product. The real WebP measures 2,214 × 2,774 px, converted from the public reproduction in high definition linked to the Christie's notice, without artificial enlargement.
They serve as landmarks and organize depth. Their fineness and small deformations must remain visible under the dense foliage.
Orange and vermilion notes give warmth to the row of trees. Reducing them would lose contrast with the blue facades and the cold sky.
Buildings do not form detailed architecture. They must appear in pieces between the branches so that the painting remains first a study of light and foliage.
Documented benchmarks
Christie's documents Les Tilleuls à Poissy, oil on canvas from 1882, 80.7 × 65 cm, stamped with the artist's signature and listed Wildenstein 747.
Monet lived in the villa with Alice Hoschedé and their children from December 1881 to April 1883. The window overlooks the lime trees of the promenade and the houses of old Poissy.
The Christie's notice links W747 to a very small group: two scenes of fishermen on the Seine, a view of the Saint-Germain forest and this row of lime trees.
The painting remains in Monet's estate then with Jean-Pierre Hoschedé. It was presented for sale in New York in 2008 and remains today in a private collection.
