A green footbridge arches over a lily-strewn pond

A curved wooden footbridge, painted green, spans a pond thick with water lilies in white, pink and pale yellow. Weeping willow and dense garden foliage crowd the far bank and arch over the bridge itself. The still water beneath doubles the greenery and the bridge's reflection. The lily pads are built from short, dabbed strokes of colour throughout. Signed lower right.

Claude Monet (1840–1926) gave Impressionism its name and its longest career. From the 1870s he painted outdoors in the Seine valley and on the Normandy coast, pursuing the changing light of a single motif in series — haystacks, poplars, Rouen Cathedral, the Thames — and from 1890 the garden he built at Giverny, whose water lilies occupied his last twenty-five years. His paintings are held by the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Marmottan Monet, the National Gallery in London and the Art Institute of Chicago.
