Monet Style Woman with Parasol Blue Limoges Box

A lady with a parasol, painted in soft blues after Claude Monet's famous canvas, turns this porcelain piece into a pocket-sized gallery. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, from a limited edition of 500 with floral detail framing the scene.

A Breeze Across the Meadow

Monet painted his wife Camille and their son on a windy hilltop in 1875, and the picture of a woman holding a parasol against the sky has been loved ever since. This box borrows that mood in a palette of blues, with the parasol and flowing dress suggesting a summer afternoon.

Impressionism in Miniature

• Belongs in an Impressionist, Monet or fine art grouping

Gallery Wall Companion

Set it on a side table beneath a framed print, on a piano, or on a vanity where its blues can catch the morning light. It is a fitting present for a painter, a museum member, an art history graduate, or a friend just back from Giverny.

Because it shares the colors of so many French paintings, it also blends well with blue and white china already on display.
