The asymmetrical banks organize the passage
The vertical, dark mass on the left acts as a threshold, while the more open right bank guides the eye towards the bend of the river. Between them, the Seine becomes a corridor of light.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · Jeufosse · 1884 · W916
In Jeufosse, the Seine widens between two banks whose foliage changes from green to yellow, pink and red. Monet directs his gaze downstream: the Jeufosse hill descends to the left towards the Gibet hillside, near Port-Villez, while the water absorbs the colors of autumn in long, almost horizontal touches. Signed and dated "Claude Monet 84" at the bottom left, this oil on canvas measuring 60 × 73 cm belongs to a special collection. It corresponds to Wildenstein 916.

Look at the work
On the left, a curtain of dark trees stands against a milky sky; its base reveals a thin bank and a few bands of shadow. The right bank, lower and brighter, advances diagonally towards the center. Its acidic yellows, pinks and greens form a vibrant contrast with the misty blues of the distant hillside.
Water does not mechanically reflect trees. Monet stretches roses, blues and greens in the direction of the current, then interrupts them with thicker touches near the banks. The sky and the river thus share the same silvery clarity, but their different gestures maintain depth and movement.
Sotheby's precisely identifies the direction of gaze: downstream, with the Jeufosse hill on the left descending towards the Gibet hillside in Port-Villez. This discreet topography gives a real basis to the colorful freedom of the painting.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The vertical, dark mass on the left acts as a threshold, while the more open right bank guides the eye towards the bend of the river. Between them, the Seine becomes a corridor of light.
The reflections are stretched horizontally; the foliage and the hillside are laid by quick, diagonal touches. Sotheby's underlines this opposition which gives the painting its energy without breaking its calm.
Lemon yellows, pinks, bluish greens and a few reds are enough to translate the season. The palette avoids the expected earthy tone and makes the transformation of the foliage a luminous phenomenon.
Reference image
The single image represents exactly Wildenstein 916. The file published by Sotheby's measures 2,000 × 1,648 px; it is kept at its native definition, without artificial enlargement, then encoded in real WebP.
It gives all its value to the clear bank and pink reflections. Too thin, it would remove the effect of entry into the pattern and flatten the depth of the river.
The long, calm touches of the Seine should not imitate the fragmented touch of the trees. This difference in direction is a documented key to W916.
The blue hill blends into the sky without a hard outline. It must remain readable behind the brilliance of the right bank while giving the landscape its atmospheric distance.
Documented benchmarks
Sotheby's documents Autumn in Jeufosse, oil on canvas from 1884, 60 × 73 cm, signed and dated lower left and listed Wildenstein 916.
From his boat-workshop, Monet explored this meander located upstream of Giverny in 1884. It varies the direction of gaze, the season and the time in order to observe the metamorphoses of the foliage and the water.
Daniel Wildenstein identifies these two landmarks in the downstream view. The composition therefore remains linked to a specific portion of the river despite the erasure of topographical details.
The merchant acquired it in 1888, probably from Monet, then sent it to his New York gallery. It then belonged to the collector Erwin Davis and appeared in several Durand-Ruel exhibitions from the 1890s.
