In his time at Giverny, Monet completed over 250 paintings depicting various aspects of his garden. Of these, at least 26 are views of the Japanese footbridge the original series of which he began in 1889.

In each of the paintings from the Japanese Footbridge series, the bridge is the main focus of the composition and in many, the bridge spans the entire width of the painting. The original series started with Japanese Footbridge, Giverny (The Bridge in Monet's Garden) in 1895 to 1896, and ended with The Bridge Over the Water-Lily Pond in 1905. He later revisited the subject in a series of less naturalistic paintings that feature dense swirls and loose strokes of color. This later series began in 1918 and ended with The Japanese Bridge at Giverny which was painted between 1918 and 1926.
