Discover the story about Claude Monet's Woman with a Parasol

Woman with a Parasol was painted by Claude Monet in 1875. It shows his wife Camille and their son during a walk outdoors.

Monet made this work in oil on canvas, using loose brushstrokes to capture light, wind, and movement. It is a key example of Impressionism, where the focus is on a fleeting moment rather than fine detail.

He was inspired by everyday life, nature, and natural light effects. The painting was not made for a specific client, but as part of his artistic exploration.

Today, it is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
