The Petite Creuse River is a 1889 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows a river scene with trees and a few buildings. Monet started this painting in April, but when he returned to it, the trees had leaves, changing the view. He wanted to keep the original look, so he had the trees defoliated to paint them as they were before. Check out the work of Claude Monet to see more of his landscapes.
