Monet, Claude (1840-1926)

1875
Oil on canvas, 55.3 x 64.7 cm
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Camille, Monet‘s first wife, is shown with a child in the garden of their house in Argenteuil, near Paris, where they lived between 1872 and 1877. The shimmering reds, blues, greens, and white that capture the brilliance of a sun-drenched day are applied with many small brushstrokes, whose varied shapes create the different textures of flowers, grass, and clothing.
