Woman with a Parasol
The artist
Claude Monet, a French painter known for showing sunlight, wind, and open air.
What you see
A woman stands on a grassy hill holding a parasol, with a young boy behind her under a big blue sky.
The story
Monet painted it in 1875, showing his wife Camille and their son enjoying a breezy day outdoors.
The style
Quick, feathery brushstrokes make her dress, scarf, and the grass look like they are moving in the wind.
Look closer
Look how her veil and dress blow to one side, so you can almost feel the breeze on the hilltop.
Where to see it
You can see this sunny painting at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
Fun fact
Monet painted the whole scene quickly outdoors, trying to catch the exact feeling of that sunny, windy moment.
