Camille Monet and a Child in the Artist’s Garden in Argenteuil
The painting depicts Camille Monet, the artist's first wife, together with a child in the garden of their home in Argenteuil, where they lived from 1872-1877. Monet, mainly known as a landscape painter, also focused on portraits early in his career. Camille appears in his paintings more than anyone else. The artwork is characterized by a masterful impressionist style, using numerous small brushstrokes creating varied textures of flowers, grass, and clothing, although Camille's facial features are immersed and blurred.
