The Seine at Asnières is an 1873 oil on canvas painting by Claude Monet, now in the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg.[1][2] It was previously in the collection of Alice Meyer (née Sieveking; 1866–1949), widow of the extremely rich Hamburg businessman Eduard Lorenz Lorenz-Meyer (1856–1926) before being looted by the USSR after World War II and retained as war reparations.[1] It has been on public display since an exhibition in 1995.[3][4]
Painted a few months after producing Argenteuil, another town on the Seine slightly to the north, Monet came to paint the subject with his friends.
