A perspective guided by the roadway
The curve runs wide in the foreground then narrows towards the station. Houses and trees move closer around this line, creating depth without apparent geometric construction.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · Boulevard Saint-Denis after the snow · National Museum of Western Art
A snowy road describes a curve from the foreground to the Argenteuil buildings. In the center, a dark silhouette walks alone; behind her, the future station and the houses dissolve in a cold light. Monet captures the bright morning following a snowfall and contrasts the whiteness of the ground with the purple trees, the cream walls and the gray-brown traces.

Look at the work
On the left, a curtain of trees rises almost to the upper edge. Their purple trunks and snow-laden branches frame a beige building. On the right, the more distant facades and a red building near the station gradually tighten the passage.
The road occupies the entire lower part. Its bluish whites are crossed by gray-brown furrows which follow the curve. The figure dressed in dark green provides the only clear human reference point and gives the scale of this still poorly constructed boulevard.
Snow simplifies the city, but traffic patterns and the solitary silhouette prevent the landscape from becoming still.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The curve runs wide in the foreground then narrows towards the station. Houses and trees move closer around this line, creating depth without apparent geometric construction.
The ground mixes cream, pale blue, lilac and gray-green. Darker spots mark the damp earth and passages, while the sky takes on the cold shades of snow.
Isolated in the center of the road, it brings together the lines of flight. Its deep blue green contrasts with the light environment, but its small size retains the dominance of the atmosphere.
Reference image
The image corresponds to inventory P.1959-0150 of the National Museum of Western Art, Wildenstein version 351. The museum provides a file of 1,500 × 1,273 px, kept at its native definition then encoded in WebP without oversampling.
Their browns and grays should not form a continuous border. They appear in fragments and accompany the curve to the character.
Their purple mass contains clear intervals and touches of snow. A silhouette that is too compact would weigh down the entire left side.
The Claude Monet 75 inscription, lower right, blends into the gray-brown tones of the snow and should not become an independent decorative accent.
Documented benchmarks
Dated 1875, this 55.5 × 65 cm oil on canvas bears the signature Claude Monet 75. It is kept in Tokyo under the number P.1959-0150 and listed Wildenstein 351.
The museum notice identifies the street being developed as well as the station. Monet therefore paints a winter landscape where nature and the urban transformation of Argenteuil coexist.
The museum distinguishes this scene from paintings showing large flakes. Here, Monet mainly observes the shades of shadow and the reflections produced by the light on the already snowy surface.
Kôjiro Matsukata acquired the painting in 1921. Returned to Japan as part of the post-war agreements, it entered the National Museum of Western Art in April 1959.
