Painting Description :
Monet liked the image of the tulips floating in the canal, as they appear in the foreground of this canvas he painted during a trip to Holland :
"When the flowers are picked in full bloom, and thrown into a heap in the canals, one suddenly sees yellow patches floating like coloured rafts in the reflection of the blue sky" (Monet).
An image to be compared with the rafts of waterlilies he painted so many times in his garden at Giverny.
