Painted in 1875, Woman with a Parasol – Madame Monet and Her Son by Claude Monet is one of the most celebrated works of Impressionism. Measuring 100 × 81 cm and housed today at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the painting captures a fleeting moment from a summer day in Argenteuil. Monet’s wife, Camille, and their young son Jean are depicted outdoors, pausing during a stroll as the artist quickly renders the scene en plein air.
