In the far distance there are the rooves of a village and a steeple, to the left, two windmills. In the middle distance a herd of cows grazing.
In the foreground two women sitting on the grass. One, dressed in black, is reading a book. She might be a chaperone. The other is dressed in lighter coloured clothes and is holding a parasol. She's looking out of the picture, to the right, as though she's waiting for someone.
It might be an impressionists work.
NO matter about the wrong vowel. A few minutes glancing through Monets paintings are minutes well spent.
That is the picture, DTcrossword.. Hirondelles. I've had a print for years and never knew the painter.
I always get my Monets and Manets mixed up, even though they have quite distinctive style differences.
Bruegel the Elder or Younger, spikey, though I do love both their paintings. Just to make things worse, there was Pieter and Jan the Elder and Pieter and Jan the Younger......all related through to Pieter the Elder
There`s a Manet exhibition at the RA at the moment. It`s only on for about 9 weeks or so. I don`t know whether that painting`s showing but there are 50 works on display. It`ll be a bit of a bun fight for tickets though.
I am a great Monet fan,but went to a Water Lillies exhibition in London once and by the end I was fed up with so many all on the one theme,but went to a haystacks one and loved it.
