The Beach at Trouville (1870). Claude Monet (French,1840-1926). Oil on canvas. The National Gallery, London. The figure to the left is probably Monet’s wife Camille, and the woman reading may be the wife of Eugène Boudin. The painting is unusual in its composition - a close-up of symmetrically disposed figures - and in the bravura of its technique. The white dashes of paint indicating the dress are prominent. They contrast with the shadowed face, probably concealed by a veil, and the parasol shading the flowered hat. -- source link
