It describes the use of light in the painting.

A simile (e.g., “the sun was like a coin” or “light like spilled wine”) turns an abstract visual quality into a concrete image, emphasizing color, brightness, and how the light falls or reflects. That affects how we see the scene; it’s not explaining Monet’s motives, appealing to sound, or referencing a historical event.
