Claude Monet
Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat
From $100
This painting is deep greens, wine reds and a white cloth, and a cheap copy greys the white. Our Claude Monet Still Life with Bread and Wine print was graded beside the museum’s own file so the cloth stays white and the wine stays deep.
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
18x12 inch, 24x16 inch, 30x20 inch, 36x24 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
Its wide shape suits a kitchen, a dining room or a breakfast nook. The greens and reds look warm with cream, sage and walnut, and a gold or natural frame suits it.
About the painting
In 1857 or 1858 the painter Eugène Boudin persuaded the teenage Claude Monet to become a landscape painter. Around 1862 Monet painted this small still life and gave it to him.
A dark bottle, a carafe of red wine, a loaf and a glass sit on a white cloth, painted plainly and boldly by a painter in his early twenties.
It later belonged to Edmond Maître in Paris and to Leigh and Mary Block in Chicago, and came to the National Gallery of Art with Paul Mellon’s bequest in 1999.
This small painting was a gift.
When Claude Monet was a teenager in Le Havre, he drew caricatures. Then, in 1857 or 1858, he met the painter Eugène Boudin.
Boudin persuaded the seventeen-year-old to give up caricatures and become a landscape painter.
A few years later, around 1862, Monet painted this still life: a dark bottle, a carafe of red wine, a loaf of bread and a glass, on a white cloth. It's plain, bold, and confident.
And he gave it to Boudin, the man who had turned him into a landscape painter, and first took him outdoors to paint.
Later it belonged to Edmond Maître in Paris, and to Leigh and Mary Block in Chicago. Paul Mellon left it to the National Gallery of Art in 1999.
Look at the white cloth, and then at the deep red of the wine.
Still Life with Bottle, Carafe, Bread, and Wine. Claude Monet, around 1862.
Faithful to the original, and made to be felt on your wall.
We compare every work with the original as we grade it, keeping the artist’s colours true while bringing back their depth and glow. Every mark stays the artist’s own.
Printed to order on cotton canvas or fine art paper, then framed if you chose a frame, in 1 to 3 business days.
It arrives 5 to 12 business days later, tracked and free anywhere in the US. Framed pieces come ready to hang.
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
