Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926)

Attributed.

Graphite on paper depicting a quiet architectural view of traditional houses and rooftops, rendered with delicate pencil lines and subtle tonal shading. The composition captures the rustic character of the setting through loosely handled foliage, sloping roofs, timbered structures, and areas of shadow, giving the drawing an intimate and observational quality.

Signed “Claude Monet†lower left. Inscribed “Montivilliers†lower right, with additional handwritten notation.

Claude Monet was a French painter and a leading figure of Impressionism, celebrated for his innovative study of light, atmosphere, and the changing effects of nature. His drawings and works on paper reveal a more immediate and spontaneous aspect of his artistic practice, often recording landscapes, architecture, and everyday surroundings with economy of line.
