Water-Lilies, Reflection of a Weeping Willow is a 1917 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Musée Marmottan Monet.
This painting is a serene depiction of a pond with water lilies and a weeping willow tree. The scene is dominated by shades of green, with touches of purple and pink. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the impression of movement and life. In the foreground, the water lilies are rendered in soft, feathery strokes, while the willow tree's branches stretch out across the canvas in gentle, sweeping curves. The background is a soft, hazy blue, which adds to the overall sense of calm and tranquility. The painting's use of light and color creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the peaceful world of the pond.

Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840, and raised from the age of five in Le Havre, where he began selling charcoal caricatures as a teenager.
