Camille with a Small Dog (1866) by Claude Monet
This is the first painting of Claude Monet's first wife (where she is the main subject)
While in her teens, Camille-Léonie "Camille" Doncieux began work as a model. She met Monet, seven years her senior (she was 18-19 years old and he, 25-26), in 1865 and became his model posing for numerous paintings.
