An unusual vertical format for a water landscape
The height allows the foliage to weigh above the river. The architecture, small and distant, becomes the end point rather than the immediate center.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · Limetz · 1888 · W1210
A curtain of trees plunges into the dark water of the Epte, while the mill and its small bridge appear at the bottom in a gap of light. Signed and dated Claude Monet 88, this vertical oil on canvas measuring 92.5 × 72.8 cm belongs to a private collection and corresponds to Wildenstein 1210.

Look at the work
The left half is occupied by a large tree whose branches fall towards the water. On the right, the river gradually lights up and leads towards the bridge, the facade of the mill and a small, almost hidden area of sky.
Deep greens, blues and browns dominate the shadow, but many pinks, yellows and whites circulate in the leaves and reflections. The light does not come from a visible sky: it seems to rise from the surface of the water.
Monet transforms access to the mill into a visual passage: the eye leaves dense vegetation, follows the river and finally reaches the sun-drenched architecture.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The height allows the foliage to weigh above the river. The architecture, small and distant, becomes the end point rather than the immediate center.
The luminous reflection starts from the lower right and goes up towards the bridge. It opens a path in the middle of dark masses and organizes depth without visible linear perspective.
The motif is located near Giverny, on an arm of the Epte. Monet worked there in 1888, before his own water garden became the main laboratory for his reflections.
Reference image
Only one exact image of W1210 is used. The real clean WebP, without photographed frame, measures 809 × 1024 px and retains its native definition without artificial enlargement.
Dark areas should keep shades of blue, green and red. Uniform black would remove depth and light passages.
The facade, the bridge and the lit water form the same home. Their contrast must remain clear without whitening the colors.
Blues, pinks, yellows and greens intersect vertically and horizontally. They suggest both current, branches and moving light.
Documented benchmarks
Christie's documents Moulin de Limetz, oil on canvas from 1888, 92.5 × 72.8 cm, signed and dated, sold in New York in 2024 and listed as Wildenstein 1210.
The painting was known there under number D38-1986 before its sale at Christie's; the museum's scientific notice documents its history and material study.
The New York sale placed this important view of Limetz in a private collection after several decades of museum exhibition.
W1210 can be recognized by its vertical format, the foliage covering more than half of the canvas and the light bridge visible in the distance.
