Claude Monet · circa 1917 -1919 · private collection · W1866

View of the water lily pond with willow W1866hand painted reproduction

A willow curtain occupies almost the entire right half, while a yellow light passes through the foliage on the left and is reflected in the lower part of the pool. The water lilies, small and spaced apart, form a horizontal line between these two masses. In this large, almost square canvas, Monet no longer describes a garden organized around a bank: he builds a dense space where branches, water and reflections overlap.

Look at the work

A yellow light passes through the willow before returning to the water as a second home

The left is structured by a narrow trunk and several layers of golden yellow. Some touches are thick and dry, others blend into dark greens. They do not outline each leaf: they indicate the places where the light reaches the vegetation. On the right, the branches descend in long blue-green curves and tighten until they form an almost continuous wall.

The pool appears especially in the lower half. Small white, pink and lilac flowers align without regularity, then a wider yellow reflection responds to the illuminated foliage at the top. The cobalt blue edge on the right side is painted by oblique and circular gestures. It gives support to the eye without interrupting the ambiguity between the real vegetation and its image in the water.

Yellow not only serves to illuminate the scene: repeated at the top and in the water, it connects the garden to the reflection and maintains depth amid dark greens.

Composition, touch and light

What Monet builds behind the impression of snapshot

Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

Analysis of View of the water lily pond with willow W1866 - Claude Monet
01

Two masses of very different weights

The illuminated foliage on the left remains open and fragmented; the curtain on the right is continuous, cold and heavy. Preserving this asymmetry avoids transforming the willow into a decorative frame.

02

A discreet but structuring line of water lilies

The small flowers cross the pool halfway up. Their size, spacing and colors must remain irregular to maintain the feel of a living surface.

03

Blacks built with blue and green

The darkest passages contain deep blue, bottle green and some purples. Uniform black would remove the branches and depth of the water.

Details and visual documents

Observe the material and the exact version

The additional images show the difficult-to-read passages in the full view and, where it exists, the actual appearance of the work at the museum.

Yellow vegetation and the reflection of the foreground - detail of View of the water lily pond with willow W1866 - Claude Monet
Yellow vegetation and the reflection of the foregroundCrop isolates areas where yellow crosses dark green. In water, the same colors are flipped and interrupted by the leaves, preventing the reflection from becoming a symmetrical copy.

The Willow Curtain and the Blue BankThe long green and blue curves extend to the water lilies. The bank, painted with cobalt and turquoise, must remain distinct without forming a clear border.

Documented benchmarks

Three pieces of information specific to this work

These references concern precisely the painting Wildenstein 1866 and are documented by the notice of its sale at Christie's.

Identification01

Wildenstein 1866, 140 × 150 cm

Christie's describes this oil on canvas as a painted work circa 1917 -1919. Its format of 140 × 150 cm brings it closer to the major studies prepared by Monet during the development of his decorative project.

Shopmarks02

Two Claude Monet prints

The notice indicates a signature stamp at the bottom right and a second on the reverse. These marks distinguish the work from a canvas signed directly by the artist at the time of its execution.

Documented route03

Allard Gallery, Durand-Ruel, Sam Salz and Edward G. Robinson

Acquired from Monet by the Allard gallery, the painting notably went through Wildenstein, Durand-Ruel and Sam Salz before entering the collection of actor Edward G. Robinson in 1960. It was presented at MoMA and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art that same year, then sold to Christie's in New York in 1998.

Your reproduction

What the painter must preserve

Fidelity here depends on precise relationships between light, touch, depth and color temperature.

  • The exact Wildenstein 1866 version in the original format of 140 × 150 cm
  • The yellow bifocal in the foliage and its reflection
  • The willow curtain built with several greens, blues and purples
  • The line of small flowers preserved without mechanical repetition
