La Japonaise (Camille Monet in Japanese Costume) 1876

La Japonaise · 穿和服的卡米尔

Camille wears a red kimono embroidered with a samurai and holds a fan; the wall behind her is a fan shop's worth of ukiyo-e prints. Monet made the picture to ride the japonisme fashion of the 1870s, and it worked — it was a hit at the second Impressionist exhibition.
