Woman with a Parasol (also known as Study of a Figure Outdoors (Facing Left)) by Claude Monet.
Location: Musee d'Orsay, Paris, France
Though something of an aberration in terms of his career, Monet's isolated later detour into figure painting, and especially this painting in particular, shows the artist's increasing preoccupation with formal values (i.e., the very matter-of-fact title), questions of composition, balance, harmony, and color above other concerns.
