The little girl is getting much prettier and will be as pretty as her mother … [she] already cherishes her father who gives her a lot of attention and who is much amused by her. He truly loves her … My grandchildren … are quite delightful.”

Monet’s first Studio at Giverny
2004

mixed media on canvas
62 x 72 in
 
From the artist:
Monet’s first studio at Giverny was in his house, and it remains mostly intact. Unfortunately, the view of the garden outside was obscured by the construction of a larger outdoor studio where he created the “Water Lilies” series.
