Her knees are angled slightly to our left, and her hands rest in her lap. She has a round face and smooth, lightly flushed cheeks. She has brown eyes under arched brows, a delicate, snub nose, and her rose-pink lips are closed. Her hair, which is painted with broad strokes of caramel brown and moss green, is parted on one side and pulled smoothly back, presumably tied behind her head. Tendrils fall over her shoulders. Her dress is gathered around her neck and tied with a bow at the back. The loose sleeves fall to just below her elbows, and the dress is belted around the waist. A curving swipe of canary-yellow paint could be a buckle at the front. The fabric of the dress is painted with long, visible strokes of shell and rose pink, butter yellow, and ivory white, and a few touches of sage green and periwinkle blue for shadows. She wears a ring on the middle finger of her right hand. The space around her is loosely painted with strokes of electric and cobalt blue, with unpainted canvas visible at some of the edges. To our left, over the girl's shoulder, a wooden bird cage holds an emerald-green parakeet. The bird is streaked with royal blue along its back, and the area around its hooked beak is apple red. The cage has a mint-green bow and ribbon along the top.

To our right and just beyond the laundry lines, a two-story ivory and slate-blue house with a gray peaked roof sits behind a grove of emerald-green trees. The laundry field and the grassy plane beyond is painted with a pale celery green with long, horizontal strokes. Dabs of moss green and a white streak interrupt the field in the distance. Beyond that, touches of steel and silvery-gray paint suggest smokestacks and smoke in a town along the horizon, which comes about three-quarters of the way up this composition.

The church is painted with visible dabs and strokes of azure blue, peach, lavender purple, and camel brown to create a blurred look, as if seeing a reflection in the rippling surface of a puddle. The church façade is angled to our left, away from us. The main door and its surround takes up the center of the composition, where a rectangular door is set within nested, pointed arches that lead up to a narrow, tall, triangular gable. The point of that gable overlaps the round, dark rose window, which is the same width as the portal surround below. Spires flank the central section and rise precipitously off the top edge of the painting. The sky above is painted with daubs of white and pale blue. The artist signed and dated the lower left, “Claude Monet 94.”",{"_295":1042,"_297":1043,"_299":1044},"https://img.ochreeditions.com/m/1517.jpg?dl=1","/art/rouen-cathedral-west-facade-nga-46524","/galleries/style/impressionism/rouen-cathedral-west-facade-nga-46524",{"_291":292,"_293":294},{"_224":1039,"_125":1040,"_285":1041},{"_276":1036,"_278":1037,"_280":1038,"_282":1021},79.73752441406249,115.1,64.73752441406249,{"_287":224,"_123":751,"_154":752,"_140":85},{"_287":125,"_123":288,"_154":289,"_140":290},{"_287":285,"_123":166,"_154":165,"_140":168},"https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1517/480.jpg","https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1517/960.jpg","https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1517/1920.jpg",{"_311":1058,"_313":1059},{"_311":1056,"_313":1057},{"_311":1054,"_313":1055},{"_311":1052,"_313":1053},{"_311":1050,"_313":1051},"#848998",0.1387,"#d4d2cf",0.1456,"#9d9494",0.1966,"#9ca4b8",0.2268,"#b6bdca",0.2923,"alexander-and-bucephalus-nga-101776","Alexander and Bucephalus",{"_42":563,"_221":564,"_325":565,"_327":328,"_329":566,"_331":567,"_333":398,"_335":398,"_337":568,"_140":75},"1861/1862","overall: 115 x 89 cm (45 1/4 x 35 1/16 in.) framed: 139.7 × 107.95 × 12.7 cm (55 × 42 1/2 × 5 in.)",0.76416015625,[1088,1089,1090,1091,1092],{"_220":374,"_221":375,"_42":376,"_304":377},"1997.57.1","Edgar Degas painted this in 1861/1862, aged about 27. It is now at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.","The young Alexander raises a hand to the head of the chestnut horse Bucephalus, which no one else at the Macedonian court could master; according to Plutarch, he succeeded by turning the animal towards the sun so that it could not see its own shadow.","Two groups of people face off in front of a hilly landscape in this loosely painted, vertical scene. On our left, a pale young man in a white tunic looks with eyes wide and lips parted at a group of three people on our right. The young man's right hand, on our left, is raised to stroke the head of a reddish-brown horse at his right shoulder. He stands with feet planted wide, knees bent, and he curls his left hand into a fist. Behind him, a man holds up a fluttering, light blue cape. A mottled red wall forms a backdrop to this scene on our left. The tight group gathered under a tree on our right stares back at the young man. The trio is made up of a balding, older man, a light-skinned boy also wearing a white tunic, and, closest to us, a brown-skinned woman wearing a marigold-orange shirt and a maroon-red skirt. Behind this group, a pair of pale raised arms suggests a fourth person, but the head is missing or has been painted over. The ground under the people is saffron orange. In the center of the picture, beyond the people, a group of horses stands near a green bank by a river, its surface reflecting white. The far bank is lined with white buildings. Tan and olive-green slopes rise from the opposite riverbank under a pale blue sky with cream-white clouds sweeping along the top edge of the composition. The artist signed his name in red paint in the lower right corner: “Degas.”",{"_295":1085,"_297":1086,"_299":1087},"https://img.ochreeditions.com/m/1638.jpg?dl=1","/art/alexander-and-bucephalus-nga-101776","/galleries/style/impressionism/alexander-and-bucephalus-nga-101776",{"_291":292,"_293":294},{"_224":1082,"_125":1083,"_285":1084},{"_276":1079,"_278":1080,"_280":1081,"_282":421},102.87841796875,130,87.87841796875,{"_287":224,"_123":541,"_154":542,"_140":75},{"_287":125,"_123":288,"_154":289,"_140":290},{"_287":285,"_123":166,"_154":165,"_140":168},"https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1638/480.jpg","https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1638/960.jpg","https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1638/1920.jpg",{"_311":1100,"_313":1101},{"_311":1098,"_313":1099},{"_311":1096,"_313":1097},{"_311":1095,"_313":316},{"_311":1093,"_313":1094},"#757663",0.1138,"#3d342a","#654730",0.2149,"#a96f31",0.2254,"#92724c",0.2565,{"_1103":-5,"_1104":1105,"_1106":1107,"_1108":8,"_1109":1110,"_1111":8},"user","csrf","876f96ff71e4355587bcbb329557bec944af9eac","cartCount",0,"dropLive","legal",[1112,1113,1114,1115,1116,1117,1118,1119,1120,1121,1122,1123],"uploadsEnabled",{"_221":1146,"_20":1147},{"_221":1144,"_20":1145},{"_221":1142,"_20":1143},{"_221":1140,"_20":1141},{"_221":1138,"_20":1139},{"_221":1136,"_20":1137},{"_221":1134,"_20":1135},{"_221":1132,"_20":1133},{"_221":1130,"_20":1131},{"_221":1128,"_20":1129},{"_221":1126,"_20":1127},{"_221":1124,"_20":1125},"credits","Open-Access Credits","accessibility","Accessibility Statement","vulnerability-disclosure","Vulnerability Disclosure Policy","own-photo","Printing Your Own Photo","copyright","Copyright and DMCA Policy","agents","Agent & API Terms","acceptable-use","Acceptable Use Policy","cookies","Cookie Policy","privacy","Privacy Policy","limited-editions","Limited Editions and Certificates","sale","Terms of Sale","terms","Terms of Use"]
