Tall poplar trees rise in a vertical row across a luminous yellow meadow, their dark trunks anchoring a composition suffused with soft morning light. Monet captures the gentle interplay of sun filtering through foliage and reflecting across the flowering field, using feathery brushwork and a pale blue sky to evoke the serene atmosphere of the French countryside. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
