Camille Monet in a Japanese Costume, also known as La Japonaise, is an oil on canvas painting by French artist Claude Monet, created in 1876. In the painting, Monet’s wife Camille Doncieux wears a traditional Japanese kimono, with her face painted in a white makeup, imitating the style of Japanese Geishas. The vibrant red color of the kimono contrasts with the white makeup, creating a striking image.

The painting reflects the fascination that many European artists, including Monet, had with Japanese art and culture during the late 19th century. This fascination, known as Japonisme, greatly influenced the art of the period, particularly the Impressionist movement.

Monet’s use of his wife Camille as a model is also significant. She is a frequent subject in his work, their intimate relationship allowed for a level of comfort and familiarity that can be seen in his paintings.
