About the piece

Painted in 1867, this early work by Claude Monet depicts his son Jean resting in an ornate floral cradle. The soft play of light on the draped fabric and the watchful presence of the figure beside him create a scene of profound peace, rendered with the artist's developing Impressionist brushwork and luminous palette.
