The seemingly insignificant parts of the reviews where the critics referred to Monet paintings lickings and slap dash methods are actually very relevant. When one looks at the Kansas painting, they will notice how fluid the painting appears. When they look at the Moscow painting, on the other hand, they will note the savagery that has been applied to the brush strokes. The fact that the Monet's garden is done in a manner that looks so easy has been used to suggest that this painting was actually a Monet re-do of his first attempt. Without dates, it is impossible to ascertain this fact for sure. However, it is a likely assumption.
