Woman with a Parasol by Claude Monet Tissue Paper

Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son by Claude Monet, oil on canvas 1875, is a painting of a woman in a white dress holding an umbrella over her head upon the top of a hill covered in grass and wildflowers, backlit against a brilliant blue sky and white clouds. At her side is a young boy, Camille, son of the artist. Painted in quickly applied strokes of lush oil paint, the picture looks upwards at the hilltop, while the subject casts a deep, cool shadow across the field grass and flowers. Yellow reflections from the flowers bounce off the woman’s luminous white dress. Monet evokes light, colour, form, shadow and atmosphere with rapid, decisive strokes of his brush in constructing an unforgettable image of a woman strolling amidst the natural world.
