Stack of Wheat 1890

Claude Monet’s *Stack of Wheat* (1890) is a depiction of a single hay bale in a snow-covered field. The painting is characteristic of the Impressionist style with its use of short, broken brushstrokes and visible brushwork. The focus on light and color is evident in the way Monet captures the subtle variations of light reflecting off the snow and the hay bale. This painting is one of a series of works depicting haystacks in various lighting conditions that Monet created at the end of the 19th century.
