About the piece

Painted around 1868, 'The Red Kerchief' is a poignant example of Claude Monet’s early impressionist style. The composition features his wife and frequent model, Camille Doncieux, passing outside a window, her bright red scarf creating a dramatic contrast against the muted greys of the interior and the soft whites of the snowy garden beyond.
