Woman with a Parasol by Monet: Camille and Jean on a Windy Hill (1875)
A woman stands on the crest of a grassy hill, seen from below against a bright, windy sky. A green parasol shades her face, a veil flutters across it, and her white dress seems to dissolve into the clouds behind her. A little farther back, half hidden by the slope, a small boy in a straw hat looks on. Claude Monet painted Woman with a Parasol – Madame Monet and Her Son in the summer of 1875, near his home at Argenteuil, and the models were his own wife, Camille, and their son, Jean. It looks like a snapshot of a family walk, and in a sense that is exactly what it is. Claude Monet, Woman with a Parasol – Madame Monet and Her Son , 1875. Oil on canvas, 100 × 81 cm.
