Dans ce tableau Monet ignore l'industrialisation qui gagne Argenteuil pour se consacrer à l'aspect bucolique d'une promenade à travers champs. | In this painting Monet ignores the growing industrialisation that is spreading to Argenteuil to devote himself to the bucolic charm of a walk in the country. | |
"Je travaille comme jamais, et à des tentatives nouvelles, des
figures en plein air comme je les comprends, faites comme des paysages. C'est
un rêve ancien qui me tracasse toujours et que je veux réaliser
une fois pour toutes; mais c'est difficile!"
Claude Monet |
"I'm working like never and at new attempts, figures in the open air
as I understand them, made like landscapes. It is an old ream that still
worries me and that I want to fulfill once and for all; but it is hard !"
Claude Monet |

Onze ans après avoir peint sa femme Camille et leur fils Jean à Argenteuil (voir ci-dessus) Monet se laissa tenter par le même motif. Sa belle-fill Suzanne Hoschedé posa pour lui jusqu'à tomber d'épuisement. | Eleven years after he had painted his wife Camille and their son Jean at Argenteuil (see above), Monet was tempted again by the same subject. His step daughter Suzanne Hoschedé posed for him untill she was exhausted. | |
