Garden Gazing - Single Picture Frame Print on Paper

In July and August 1874, Manet vacationed at his family's house in Gennevilliers, just across the Seine from Monet at Argenteuil. The two painters saw each other often that summer, and on many occasions, they were joined by Renoir. While Manet was painting this picture of Monet with his wife Camille and their son Jean, Monet painted Manet at his easel Renoir, who arrived just as Manet was beginning to work, borrowed paint, brushes, and canvas, positioned himself next to Manet, and painted Madame Monet and her son (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.).
