|
| Artist |
Monet, Oscar-Claude |
Alice’s third daughter Suzanne inspired Monet to paint two versions of this picture. Suzanne was 18 at the time and possibly reminded him of Camille, whom he had painted in a similar pose several years before. He painted her against the light, barely sketching her features, bit capturing instead the play of light and shade created by the sunshade. |
