"The Estuary of the Seine" is an 1868 painting by Claude Monet. It depicts a view of the Seine river, showing a small boat in the water and a dirt road leading away from the viewer, all under a partly cloudy sky. Monet is famous for his work within the Impressionist movement, which emphasized the depiction of light and fleeting moments. This work is characteristic of Impressionism, using quick brushstrokes and capturing a moment of nature in a way that prioritizes light and atmosphere.
