OOC Signed Claude Monet Bernheim Jeune & C

Updated September 26, 2026

Oil on canvas, framed. Attributed to Claude Monet (1840–1926). Depicting a multi-arched bridge spanning a river with small boats below and reflections of warm sunset tones on the water, set against an industrial skyline with smokestacks rendered in cooler blues, the composition reflects Monet’s Impressionist approach to atmospheric light, shifting color, and transient effects observed in urban and riverside settings. Signed Claude Monet at the lower right. Label on verso of Bernheim Jeune & C. 80 x 40.6 cm (31.5" x 16"), framed: 101.6 x 72.3 cm (40" x 28.5"). The contrast between warm sky and cool industrial forms aligns with Monet’s interest in capturing modern life and environmental conditions, similar to his views of the Seine, the Thames, and various bridge subjects painted between the 1870s and early 1900s. Comparable works featuring bridges, industrial elements, and luminous water surfaces are held in major institutional collections, including the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the National Gallery in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., which house related examples such as The Thames Below Westminster, Bridge at Argenteuil, and Charing Cross Bridge, all demonstrating similar treatment of light, reflection, and atmospheric color.
