Afternoon Light at Argenteuil by Walter Helbig is a captivating depiction of the Seine’s tranquil waters, where light dances across the rippling surface. The work depicts a favoured location of Monet's paintings The Bridge at Argenteuil and The Argenteuil Bridge. Helbig’s delicate palette and impressionistic brushwork breathe life into this serene riverside painting, capturing the essence of Argenteuil’s charm. The iconic bridge stands gracefully amidst lush greenery and gently sailing boats, evoking a timeless moment of quiet beauty. This composition offers a glimpse into Helbig’s poetic vision and his profound connection to nature.
