From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City:
The extreme horizontality, the sweeping arc of the riverbank, and the types of the brushstrokes used in the foreground and sky of this painting are characteristic of Monet's work of the early 1880s. Monet had abandoned his Impressionist manner of the previous decade and had begun to experiment with new compositional formats, a different palette, and a variety of brushstrokes and surface effects.
