When looking at the Chesnaux review, many contemporary critics claim that it could easily be applied to either painting. The boulevard in the painting in Kansas is under snow, however, and that snow would be inconsistent with many of Chesnauxs descriptions of dust and light. The dust would have been subdued by the snow. Monet paintings in Moscow, on the other hand, sports autumnal looking trees but with a sky that is crisp and wintry. This painting is much easier to match with the critics description of shadows and light.
