Promenade near Argenteuil (En promenade près d’Argenteuil), 1875 by Claude Monet

Promenade near Argenteuil (En promenade près d’Argenteuil), painted by Claude Monet in 1875 captures two elegantly dressed women and a small child strolling through a meadow thick with pink and scarlet wildflowers on the outskirts of Argenteuil. Monet sets his figures against a screen of wind-stirred trees and a sky of rolling silver clouds, dissolving every form into quick, flickering touches of green, rose and white. Painted at the height of his Argenteuil years, the canvas distills the leisurely pleasures of suburban life that became a signature subject of early Impressionism.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1875.
