The Pink Skiff, Boating on the Ept 1887

"The Pink Skiff, Boating on the Ept" (1887) by Claude Monet depicts two women in a rowboat on a river. The Impressionist style is evident through Monet's use of loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors, particularly the bright pink of the skiff, contrasting with the deep green of the water and foliage. The painting captures the fleeting moment of leisure on a summer afternoon, characteristic of Monet's interest in depicting the beauty of nature.
