Woman with a Parasol – Madame Monet and Her Son, 1875

Your taste…

Camille Monet stands on a rise in a meadow at Argenteuil, seen from below against a bright, cloud-streaked sky, while the wind tugs at her veil and white dress. Their seven-year-old son Jean stands further back, cut off at the waist by the slope. Painted outdoors in a few hours, it is a family moment rather than a formal portrait.

Look closer

The green of the meadow reappears on the underside of the parasol. Monet signed and dated it "Claude Monet 75" at lower right.
