In this painting, this very same rowboat of Monet is resting on the left bank of the river, almost as if the three sisters have just stepped off the boat for Blanche to set up her easel to depict this view. The trees curve into the center from the left, creating a subdued yet classically Impressionist scene. The frame of poplars in the distance is reflected in the water. The water lilies are floating and glistening on the right side of the foreground. This painting is a peaceful meditation on the trees, the water, and, most significantly, the water lilies of Giverny.
