Cartão Magpie Claude Monet

The Magpie by Claude Monet, oil on canvas 1868 - 1869, is a landscape painting of a winter scene of a field with houses and trees covered in snow, the lone figure of a large black and white bird perched on a country farm fence. Monet paints the scene with sharp contrasts of bright white snow with stark dark accents in the bird, trees, and landscape elements, in a masterly command of realism in this early work.
