When was woman with a parasol painted

The brevity of the moment portrayed here is conveyed by a repertory of animated brushstrokes of vibrant color, hallmarks of the style Monet was instrumental in forming. Bright sunlight shines from behind Camille to whiten the top of her parasol and the flowing cloth at her back, while colored reflections from the wildflowers below touch her front with yellow. Artist: Claude Monet. The Argenteuil Bridge Depicts same location.

Regattas at Argenteuil Uses same medium. Poppy Field Created around the same time. So, when we see the figures looking towards us, they are in fact looking towards Monet. By showing them like this, it is as if we interrupted them on their stroll, and they have taken a momentary pause to glance over. This spontaneity in a portrait was a new convention used by Monet.

Rather than paint a portrait of his family in a setting with a typical portraiture pose, he shows them in everyday life.

That, combined with the quick visible brushstrokes, creates an effect that the scene is taking place in real time. And, while the painting was completed in one day, it took several hours. Monet was a master of capturing a moment, a glimpse, in time. In his series paintings he shows the effect changes in light and atmosphere can have on a subject.
