Claude Monet The House Among The Roses 1925 Editorial Image

This painting depicts the front of the artist's house in Giverny seen from the garden. Of the house, in the background, we can see the dark slate roof, the dark gaps of the first floor windows, and an opening on the ground floor. Two large rose trees in bloom frame the composition: the one on the left, represented in the foreground, is cut by the edge of the painting that on the right, a little further behind, can be seen almost in its totality. The rose trees and the house cover most of the pictorial plane the rest is taken up by the sky and a clump of blue lilies, in the foreground.
