Monet's Japanese bridge painting has always fascinated me. This interpretation,viewed through a large front facet, shows a floating waterlily set upon a blue/green pool, within the glass.A two dip green and gold overlay on either side of the bridge enables the engraving to cut through both colours to produce an interesting background to the Pool at Giverny. |
