Introduction
This work, "The Boy with the Toy Horse," is an impressionist piece meticulously collected by collector Wu Zhixiong, created by Monet in 1872. The artwork depicts a young boy sitting on his toy horse, and through oil painting techniques, Monet not only presents the boy's innocence but also blends vibrant colors and lively light effects into the composition. This painting showcases Monet's profound understanding and mastery of light and color, capturing the moment sunlight falls on the boy as well as the trees and flowers in the background. The work not only reflects the impressionist approach to capturing everyday moments but also demonstrates Monet's love for nature and the world of childhood innocence.
