Claude Monet
Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat
From $100
This picture is all wind and sky, and a flat copy turns the blues to grey and the white dress to beige. Our Monet woman with a parasol print was graded against the National Gallery of Art’s own photograph, so the sky stays blue, the dress stays white and the grass still moves in the breeze.
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
16x20 inch, 24x30 inch, 32x40 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
Its upright shape and big sky suit a living room, a bedroom or a hallway. The blues, whites and greens look fresh with white, soft grey and natural wood, and a white or natural frame keeps it airy.
About the painting
Monet was living at Argenteuil, near Paris, with his wife Camille and their son Jean. On a windy summer day the three of them went out walking, and he painted them on the spot.
We look up at Camille against white clouds. The wind catches her veil and her white dress, and the green underside of her parasol echoes the grass. Jean, seven, stands further back behind the rise. Monet painted it quickly, outdoors, probably in a few hours.
At a metre high it was his largest picture of the 1870s. He showed it at the second Impressionist exhibition in 1876, and the young John Singer Sargent saw it there and later painted his own version. It belongs to the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
This painting took Claude Monet only a few hours. People have been looking at it for a hundred and fifty years.
It's a summer day in 1875, at Argenteuil, the town outside Paris where Monet lives with his wife Camille and their son Jean.
The wind is up, and they've gone out for a walk on the hill.
Monet sets up his easel below them and looks up. Camille stands against the white clouds and the blue sky, holding a green parasol.
The wind catches her veil and her long white dress. The green under her parasol is the same green as the grass blowing at her feet.
Behind the rise stands Jean, who's seven, seen only from the waist up.
Monet paints fast, outdoors, probably in just a few hours. It's like a snapshot of one windy moment.
The next spring he shows it at the second Impressionist exhibition. A young American painter, John Singer Sargent, sees it there, and years later paints his own version.
Today it belongs to the National Gallery of Art, in Washington.
Stand on the hill with them, and feel the wind.
Woman with a Parasol. Claude Monet, 1875.
Faithful to the original, and made to be felt on your wall.
We compare every work with the original as we grade it, keeping the artist’s colours true while bringing back their depth and glow. Every mark stays the artist’s own.
Printed to order on cotton canvas or fine art paper, then framed if you chose a frame, in 1 to 3 business days.
It arrives 5 to 12 business days later, tracked and free anywhere in the US. Framed pieces come ready to hang.
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
