"The Banks of the River Epte in Springtime" by Claude Monet. 
The painting was completed in 1885. 
It is an oil on canvas measuring 64.7 cm Γ— 81.3 cm. 
The work captures the tranquil course of the Epte River near Monet's home in Giverny, France. 
It is a prime example of the Impressionist movement, focusing on the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere.
