Poplars at Giverny
Painting from a series depicting poplars growing by the riverbank, a few miles from Monet's house in Giverny, located in a marshy area. The artist painted the poplars from a boat standing on the river, and then acquired the trees to be able to continue working on this theme. After completing the series, the trees were sold for firewood.
