Did you know?
Claude Monet was a fervent advocate for "plein air" painting, capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere directly from nature. His stepdaughter Blanche, shown painting here, was also an artist and often joined him in his outdoor sessions, becoming an important chronicler of his Giverny gardens. This painting provides a personal glimpse into their shared artistic journey and Monet's direct influence on a budding Impressionist.
