Here you can see the insistence not to work the light (sublimated hair ceu e hair teto de vidro da estação) and Attention to the details that can be observed, for example, I do not outline two precedents in the second flat.
The Saint-Lazare station, which gave me a square, was a terminal station and was used many times by a painter's own hair when he moved to England and Normandy.

Characteristics of Monet's works

"As cores são minha obsessão, meu amusement and meu torment of all days."
- A quite characteristic differential of Monet is the importance given to the light of paintings. Either a tinha painter or the habit of paying extreme attention to or painting the solar rays and shadows, for example. Aliás, there was a peculiar attention to details, especially when reflecting on water (observed when painting lagoons, rivers or oceans).
