Woman with a Parasol

What you see

We look up from the foot of the slope at Camille, standing against the sky under a tilted green parasol. She turns toward us, her veil and dress tugged by the wind. Farther back on the left, Jean peeks out of the grass in a straw hat. Her figure runs nearly the full height of the canvas.

The blue sky fills with clouds made of loose, rapid strokes, and the white dress picks up reflections of blue, yellow and lilac. The grass is a tangle of greens dotted with small yellow flowers. Notice the shadow the parasol casts across her face, and the signature in dark blue in the lower right corner.
