Stamped lower right (indistinct): Claude Monet
Inv.-no. MB-Mon-29
The warm orange-yellow color of the setting sun, combined with pink and blue accents, dominates this composition, which Claude Monet arranged in an almost abstract way. The movement of the skaters and the inclination of the poplars lend a dynamism to the picture that is at odds with the bitter cold.
