At casual glance, this piece evokes the idyllic image of the pleasure boats on the Seine for which Argenteuil was famous. Upon closer inspection, the viewer is treated to insight into Monet's mastery of color and light, produced using brilliant, unblended tones of blue, red, green and yellow. Brushwork texture brings the lapping surface of the water and the movement of breezes through the trees to vivid life. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. The replica 3.125" wide, European style frame is cast in quality designer resin in a deep ebony hue highlighted by a faux mat and a classic, understated border in an antique gold finish. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
