Water Lilies, Reflections of Weeping Willows is a 1918 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting is a soft, impressionistic depiction of a pond, with a cluster of water lilies in the foreground and weeping willows reflected in the water. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible texture on the canvas. The colors are muted, with shades of green, blue, and purple dominating the palette. In the foreground, the water lilies are depicted in various shades of blue and purple, with a few red accents adding a pop of color. The weeping willows are reflected in the water, their long, curved branches stretching out across the canvas. The background is a soft, hazy green, with hints of blue and purple visible through the mist. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy the works of Claude Monet.
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.
