Young Girl in the Garden at Giverny (Jeune Fille dans le Jardin de Giverny), c. 1888 by Claude Monet

Young Girl in the Garden at Giverny, painted by Claude Monet in 1888 depicts a single figure in a broad straw hat gathering flowers along a garden path, her pale dress catching the dappled sunlight filtering through the surrounding beds. The picture was made in the first years after Monet settled permanently at Giverny in 1883, when the garden itself was still a relatively modest, developing project rather than the celebrated water garden it would later become. The intimate genre subject and soft, textured brushwork mark a transitional moment between Monet’s figure paintings of the 1870s and the pure landscape studies that would soon dominate his work.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1888.
