“The Walk. The woman with a Parasol”, oil on canvas.

"I'm working like never and at new attempts, figures in the open air as I understand them, made like landscapes. It is an old ream that still worries me and that I want to fulfill once and for all; but it is hard!" Claude Monet

In this painting Monet ignores the growing industrialization of the towns to devote himself to the charm of a walk in the country.

This woman with an umbrella painted against the light and from below is Camille, Monet's wife.

The figure is turned right, the woman is holding an umbrella, walking without any goal. The background is subdued. The gaudy colours of the field and sky add the atmosphere of delicate loneliness of the figure.

   The general effect. (The title and the name of the artist. The period or trend represented.
   
2. 
   The contents of the picture. (Place, time and setting. The accessories, the dress and environment. Any attempt to render the emotions of the model. What does the artist accentuate in his subject?)
   
3. 
   The composition and colouring. (How is the sitter represented? Against what background? Any prevailing format? Do the hands/head/body look natural and informal? How do the eyes gaze? Does the painter concentrate on the analysis of details? What tints predominate in the colour scheme/ are the brushstrokes left visible?)
   
4. 
   Interpretation and evaluation. (Does it show a high degree of artistic skill? What feelings or ideas does it evoke in the viewer?)
