MONET, Claude: The Ball-Shaped Tree, Argenteuil

🖼 The Ball-Shaped Tree, Argenteuil, 1876
Oil on canvas
60.3 × 80.2 cm
Potsdam, Germany

Soft brushwork captures dappled light filtering through a spherical topiary, its geometric form contrasting with loose, impressionistic foliage. Monet's 1876 study exemplifies his investigation of light's transformative effect on ordinary garden subjects, establishing themes central to his later series paintings.
