by Claude Monet, 1875
Claude Monet painted this Woman with a Parasol in 1875, capturing his wife Camille and their son Jean during a summer stroll near Argenteuil. The wind catches Camille's white dress and veil while she holds a green parasol above her head. Monet painted the scene outdoors in a single session of several hours.
The composition places the viewer below the figures, looking up against fluffy clouds and an azure sky. Seven-year-old Jean appears as a small figure in the background, barely visible through the waving meadow grass. Monet wanted to convey a casual family outing rather than a formal portrait.
The painting was one of 18 works Monet showed at the second Impressionist exhibition in 1876. John Singer Sargent saw it there and later created similar parasol scenes. Today it hangs at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., a gift from Paul Mellon in 1983.
