Even after relocating to Giverny in 1883, Claude Monet continued to focus on the rural surroundings along the Seine. Here, he guides the viewer's gaze over the tall grasses to the playing children. The meadow offers numerous sensory delights. The painter brings the blades of grass intimately close to the viewer, capturing the light and warmth of the spring day and evoking the fresh scent of a pastoral landscape.
