Irises Print

A number of paintings dating from the last years of Monet's life depict the irises which grew near the water in his garden at Giverny. The unusual perspective in this painting suggests that he was looking down at the irises and winding path, perhaps from the Japanese bridge. Although this work is the same height as Monet's large water-lily paintings, there is no evidence to suggest that he intended it to be part of the series.
