A natural setting placed very close
Trunks and foliage occupy a considerable part of the canvas. They give the foreground a dark weight, protect the figure from the sun and create an irregular opening towards the village.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · Camille facing the hamlet of Gloton · Art Institute of Chicago
Sitting in the shadow of two trees, Camille Doncieux looks at the Seine and the houses of Gloton which are reflected in the calm water. A green boat rests very close to her, like the trace of the journey made from Bennecourt. Monet combines the intimacy of a figure seen from behind with a very constructed landscape, where dark foliage, light bank, cultivated hillside and mirror of the river respond to each other.

Look at the work
Two vertical trunks form a screen on the left, and the mass of leaves extends above Camille. Her striped dress and her hat placed in the grass introduce whites and blues into this dark area. The small boat, seen in shortcut, then leads the eye towards the water.
On the opposite bank, Gloton's houses are lined up under a cultivated green hillside. Their light facades, figures and animals are repeated in the reflection, but with simplified and inverted shapes. A strip of blue sky appears at the top, while a second blue zone crosses the water in the foreground.
Camille does not pose in front of the landscape: her silent position makes the viewer share the very act of looking at the shore.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
Trunks and foliage occupy a considerable part of the canvas. They give the foreground a dark weight, protect the figure from the sun and create an irregular opening towards the village.
The houses, the hillside and the light repeat themselves in the Seine. Monet does not copy every detail: he widens the shapes and modifies their colors so that the water remains a moving surface and not a rigid mirror.
Camille is recognizable by her silhouette, but her face remains invisible. The stripes of her dress take up the contrasts of the shore and integrate it into the pattern instead of making it an independent portrait.
Reference image
The image corresponds to the 1922.427 inventory of the Art Institute of Chicago and Wildenstein number 110. The 3,000 × 2,425 px file was kept at its native definition and then encoded in WebP.
Bluish greens, yellows, browns and small sky openings differentiate the branches. This variety maintains cool shade while maintaining foliage depth.
White and blue change width with folds and sitting. Regular, flat strips would remove Camille's volume and her insertion into the grass.
The facades become touches of beige, pink and green which mingle with the water. Their edges must remain more flexible than those of the real bank in order to reflect the slight movement of the river.
Documented benchmarks
Dated and signed Cl. Monet 1868 lower left, this oil on canvas measures 81.5 × 100.7 cm. It is kept at the Art Institute of Chicago under inventory 1922.427 and listed as Wildenstein 110.
Camille and Monet would have reached this bank by boat from Bennecourt. The painter observes the small hamlet of Gloton, its houses, the hillside and the activities of the opposite bank.
The Art Institute indicates that Émile Zola had recommended this rural refuge, inexpensive and accessible from Paris. This work remains the only surviving painting from this specific stay.
The underlying study reveals repentance: Camille initially held a baby wearing a hat, probably Jean. Monet then transforms the scene to isolate the figure facing the landscape.
