About this picture
The Red Kerchief is a CC0 painting by Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926), dated c. 1868–73. Oil on fabric. The file comes from Cleveland Museum of Art.
“The Red Kerchief” (c. 1868–73) 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.
