# Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MONET, Claude]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 100 x 81 cm ## Commentary After a few pictures painted in the 1860s, Monet dispensed almost entirely with figures in his works, devoting himself to landscape painting. The present painting, which belongs to a series of paintings executed by Monet during the summers of 1875 and 1876, and depicting the garden of his second home at Argenteuil and the poppy-covered fields of nearby Colombes and Gennevilliers, is exceptional owing to the prominent role that Monet accords to the figure within the landscape. The model for the figure is Camille, Monet's wife, dressed in white and wearing a veiled hat. The painting was exhibited at the second Impressionist exhibition in 1876. ## Related artworks - [A Cart on the Snowy Road at Honfleur]() - [A Corner of the Hoschedé Garden at Montgeron]() - [A Field of Poppies]() - [Argenteuil]() - [Beach at Sainte-Adresse]() - [Boats on the Beach at Étretat]() - [Bordighera]() - [Boulevard des Capucines]() - [Boulevard Saint-Denis, Argenteuil, in Winter]() - [Bouquet of Flowers]() - [Bouquet of Sunflowers]() - [Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
