Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat

Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat (French: Bassin d'Argenteuil avec un seul voilier) is an oil on canvas autumn scene of the basin at Argenteuil, painted by French Impressionist artist Claude Monet in 1874.

[1] The piece was created during Monet's residence at Argenteuil, a town on the banks of the Seine, on the outskirts of Paris.

Here Monet purchased a boat to be used as a floating studio and painted many scenes of the surrounding area.

[1] The painting was purchased by Irish playwright and activist Edward Martyn in 1899, on the advice of his cousin, George Moore.

[3] The restoration saw 7% of the damaged area being lost, in a process that involved sewing microscopic threads back together.
