About the piece

Painted in 1890, this work by Claude Monet depicts figures—likely the Hoschedé daughters—rowing on the River Epte near Giverny. The composition is defined by the deep, moody tones of the water, which Monet treated with almost abstract density, contrasted against the luminous pink of the dresses and the bold red of the canoe. It is a masterful study of light reflecting off dark surfaces and a classic example of late 19th-century French leisure.
