This is one of the earliest pieces of this artist. Claude began his career as a caricaturist., for which he had achieved local success by 1856.A founding member of the Impressionists (his painting Impression: Sunrise [1872] gave the movement its name), his fascination with the play of light on objects led him to produce se-ries of single subjects painted at di!erent times of day and under di!erent weather conditions, such as the Haystacks series (1890–91) and Rouen Cathedral (1892–95). Among his most fa-mous paintings are the Waterlilies series.

She looks steadily forward, and some sense of her character can be gleaned from th at-titude of the head and th quiet pose. Included in the second Impressionist exhibition, this work was an abrupt departure from the style that monet had been cultivating over the preceding decade.

She is an anonymous woman without identity.
