The Red Kerchief, c. 1868–73. Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Oil on fabric; framed: x x cm (50 1/2 x 41 5/8 x 5 3/4 in.); unframed: 99 x cm (39 x 31 7/16 in.). This painting depicts Monet's first wife, Camille, outside on a snowy day passing by the French doors of their home at Argenteuil. Her face is rendered in a radically bold Impressionist technique of mere daubs of paint quickly applied, just as the snow and trees are defined by broad, broken strokes of pure white and green.
