Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son, 1875 Claude Monet, French, 1840 - 1926 Oil on canvas, 100 x 81 cm (39 3/8 x 31 7/8 in.) Inscription: lower right: Claude Monet 75 Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon, National Gallery of Art #1983.1.29 "While all of his paintings share the same fascination with capturing the fleeting effects of sunlight (the hallmark of his impressionist style), this particular painting is exceptional owing to the prominent role that Monet accords to the figure within the landscape."
