Jeanne-Marguerite Lecadre in the Garden (Femme au Jardin), 1866 by Claude Monet

Jeanne-Marguerite Lecadre in the Garden, painted by Claude Monet in 1866 shows the young wife of Monet’s cousin standing in a bright white dress amid a garden bed of red flowers at Le Coteau, the Lecadre family’s country house in Sainte-Adresse. Painted en plein air when Monet was just twenty-six, the canvas contrasts her luminous figure against the dense greens and reds of the summer garden, foreshadowing his lifelong fascination with painting people outdoors in natural light.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1866.
