Woman with a Parasol – Madame Monet and Her Son by Claude Monet

The story

Woman with a Parasol – Madame Monet and Her Son is an oil-on-canvas painting by Claude Monet from 1875. The Impressionist work depicts his wife Camille Monet and their son Jean Monet in the period from 1871 to 1877 while they were living in Argenteuil, capturing a moment on a stroll on a windy summer's day. Due to the subject matter, it is sometimes known as The Stroll although the term "Promenade" is actually present in the titles of several other Monet paintings in the same series.
