CLAUDE MONET and GEORGE W. THORNLEY Femme à l'ombrelle.
Lithograph printed in blue on off-white Chine appliqué on cream wove paper, circa 1892. 275x195 mm; 10 3/4x7 5/8 inches, full margins. Edition of 25. Signed by both Monet and Thornley in pencil, lower margin. Printed by Belfond, Paris, with the blind stamp and the red ink stamp (Lugt 225d). Published by Goupil, Paris. From L'Album de 20 lithographies d'après les tableaux de Claude Monet. A superb, richly-inked impression of this scarce lithograph, with strong contrasts.
Based on Monet's same-titled painting from 1886, now in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. The model was Suzanne Hoschedé, the daughter of the artist's close friend. Monet represented Suzanne in silhouette standing on an embankment at Giverny, near Monet's home in the country outside Paris.
