With Promeneur assis auprès d’un saule the young Monet focuses his attention on a willow tree. Paying particular attention to its contours and textures, he employs a subtle chiaroscuro effect to create a striking contrast between the dark forms of the tree and the ivory page of the sketchbook. Here, the artist aligns himself with tradition, recalling the picturesque horticultural specimens that were a favourite subject of Dutch landscape painters in the sixteenth- and seventeenth-centuries, as well as the protagonists of the Barbizon School.
