Water Lilies, Reflections of Weeping Willows
Claude Monet French
Monet lined his water-lily pond at Giverny with several weeping willows of the Babylon variety, which became the subject of multiple painting campaigns in the period 1916–1919. The present work belongs to a group of studies depicting the reflections of the trees in the water. A wavy, distorted image of a willow trunk can be seen at the top of the composition near the center, with the branches extending diagonally toward the lower left.
