Weeping Willow is a 1918 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Musée Marmottan Monet.
This painting is a depiction of a weeping willow tree, with its long, drooping branches and leaves painted in soft, feathery brushstrokes. The tree is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, with hints of blue and purple in the shadows. The overall effect is one of serenity and calmness. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible texture from the paint. The colors are muted, with a focus on greens and blues. The painting has a sense of depth and dimensionality, with the tree appearing to recede into the distance.
