An apron reduced to a cold line
The blue-gray band should remain thin and discontinuous. A dark line that is too clear would artificially separate the sky from the Thames.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · circa 1902 · Tokyo · P.1959-0154
Charing Cross Bridge passes through a cream, pink and yellow mist so light that the apron appears to float. To the right, Victoria Tower rises like a large green-gray vertical; in the center, purple smoke signals the train without interrupting the light unit of the scene.

Look at the work
The apron forms a very thin blue-gray line. Its batteries extend into the water through transparent, irregular and slightly colder verticals. In the center, the train is reduced to a few blues and mauves surrounded by pale pink smoke.
The Victoria Tower dominates the right but its contrast remains low. Yellows and greens pass in front of its silhouette. In the Thames, roses, creams and blues are placed in long horizontal touches which distinguish the water from the sky without breaking the fog.
London remains identifiable, but each architecture seems painted from within the fog itself, where the color precedes the outline.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

The blue-gray band should remain thin and discontinuous. A dark line that is too clear would artificially separate the sky from the Thames.
The large vertical on the right is built with greens, yellows and pale blues. It must emerge slowly rather than becoming an opaque landmark.
The train is not detailed. Its presence is due to the small purple and pink cloud, the edges of which dissolve into the cream background.
