Woman in the Garden

The work was executed en plein air in oil on canvas with a relatively large size of 82 by 101 cm.

and currently belongs in the collection of the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Russia.

[3] The style of the painting is quite composed and detailed, unlike the typically impressionist works for which Monet was later acclaimed.

Three principal objects, Jeanne-Marguerite, the central flowering rose bush in the bed of bright red flowers and the flowering bush on the right provide an ordered structure and Jeanne-Marguerite's bright white dress contrasts vividly with the reds, pinks and greens of the garden plants and trees.

The subject matter foreshadowed Monet's lifelong passion for painting flowers and gardens in a natural setting.
