Description
This image depicts the dramatic break up of ice on the Seine River during the harsh winter of 1879-1880 when Monet was living in Vetheuil.
It captures a moment in time when the frozen river begins to thaw and large ice floes are carried downstream.
There is a warmth in the dusky pink sky contrasted against the cooler hues of the wintry landscape.
