About this picture
Caricature of Mario Uchard is a public-domain drawing by Claude Monet, dated c. 1858. Graphite on tan wove paper. The file comes from Art Institute of Chicago.
“Caricature of Mario Uchard” (c. 1858) belongs to Monet’s habit of staying with one motif — a bridge, a field, a station, the Thames, the lily pond — and painting it again as the light changed.
About the artist
Claude Monet (1840–1926) was a founder of Impressionism. He painted the same motif again and again — haystacks, the Rouen cathedral, the Thames, then the water lilies at Giverny — to catch how light changes.
