A frontal pose but not official
The hand at the waist gives confidence to the silhouette, yet the face quickly remains indicated. Monet retains Suzanne's presence and attitude rather than a carefully drawn resemblance.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · Giverny · 1887 · W1133
Suzanne Hoschedé stops in a meadow south of Le Pressoir, Monet's house in Giverny. Her brown hat, dark jacket and pale pink dress stand out in front of flowering trees, while a closed parasol descends along her skirt. Probably painted in the summer of 1887, this 100.6 × 70.5 cm oil on canvas is kept at the Metropolitan Museum of Art under number 2003.20.7 and corresponds to Wildenstein 1133.

Look at the work
Suzanne places herself slightly to the left of center, one hand placed at the waist and the other holding the parasol. Its silhouette crosses almost the entire height. The thin trunks frame it without forming a symmetrical decoration, and the clear path in the foreground closes behind her dress.
The foliage alternates deep greens, turquoise, blue and pinkish white. The coat receives touches of cream, peach, yellow and light blue which make it luminous without continuous contour. The purple-brown jacket and wide hat stabilize the top of the face against the bright branches.
Suzanne is not detached from the landscape like in a studio portrait: her dress, trunks and flowers are painted with the same touch, so the figure seems to belong to the light of the garden.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The hand at the waist gives confidence to the silhouette, yet the face quickly remains indicated. Monet retains Suzanne's presence and attitude rather than a carefully drawn resemblance.
The trunks respond to the figure and the closed umbrella. This repetition supports the narrow format and prevents the flowery background from becoming a fully diffuse surface.
Pink, cream, blue and yellow replace brown shadows. The touches follow the fall of the fabric and give the skirt its volume while maintaining the feeling of the outdoors.
Reference image
A single exact image of W1133 is used throughout the file and as the sole media for the product. The real WebP measures 2,082 × 3,000 px, reduced from a public photographic file of 2,472 × 3,562 px without artificial enlargement.
Its position lets the clump of trees breathe to the right and maintains the natural irregularity of the frame. Refocusing it would stiffen the scene.
The dark top gives a hinge in the middle of the silhouette, while the light skirt absorbs light. The contrast should remain soft but readable.
This blue-gray diagonal extends the right arm and enlivens the lower part. It must remain identifiable without becoming too detailed an accessory.
Documented benchmarks
The Metropolitan Museum of Art preserves The Stroller, oil on canvas from 1887, 100.6 × 70.5 cm, inventory 2003.20.7 and catalog Wildenstein 1133.
Born in 1868, Suzanne became one of Monet's preferred models after Camille's death. In 1892 she married the American painter Theodore Earl Butler.
The Met places the scene in the meadows near Monet's house. The artist thus paints a figure of his blended family at the heart of his daily environment.
The work belongs to the collection Walter H. and Leonore Annenberg. It enters the Metropolitan Museum of Art under number 2003.20.7.
