Monet’s wife Camille and their son Jean on a breezy summer day in Argenteuil, seen from below against a bright sky. It isn’t a formal portrait; it feels like a snapshot taken during a walk.

Look at the wind: it tugs at Camille’s veil and skirt and bends the grass, all painted with quick, loose strokes. The underside of the parasol glows green from the light reflected off the meadow.
