The reflective water and dense greenery give it a Giverny-adjacent, Monet-influenced feel. Signed "Spehar," lower right, in blue.

Subject: a still pond, thick with emerald and jade green lily pads, reflects the surrounding trees and a distant building with a red-and-white striped awning glimpsed through the foliage. A small white rowboat sits moored at the water's edge, in front of a low garden fence.

Color palette: emerald and jade green (lily pads, foliage), teal and turquoise (water reflections), crimson and white (awning stripes), warm ochre and gold (building facade), forest green and olive (background trees).

Frame: natural oak-toned wood, simple flat molding, unobtrusive and period-appropriate to the painting's impressionist style. 1.4" wide profile. See less
