La Japonaise by Claude Monet shows his wife Camille staged in a padded red kimono among Japanese fans, a witty jab at the Paris craze for Japonisme.
Description
Description
A small folding fan in the hand of Camille Monet carries the red, white, and blue of the French flag, tucked among dozens of painted Japanese uchiwa fans scattered across the wall behind her. This La Japonaise reproduction holds that detail at its centre, the one flicker of French identity inside a costume built entirely from imported fantasy. The painting is a theatrical joke dressed as a portrait, and it rewards a second look.
About La Japonaise Reproduction
Monet painted this large, full-length canvas in 1876, showing his wife Camille in a heavily embroidered red uchikake-style kimono, posed on a tatami mat with her body turned in profile and her face swung toward the viewer. She fans herself with a studied, stagey gesture, and the blonde wig she wears sits deliberately at odds with her known dark hair, a wink to the audience that the figure beneath the silk is Parisian through and through. The kimono itself carries a warrior embroidered across the back in gold and cream against the dominant red, a piece of theatrical costume rather than everyday dress, and Monet handles the brocade with a density of paint he rarely used elsewhere in his career.
The red of the kimono sits in heavy, built-up strokes against the looser, flickering brushwork of the fans behind her, a contrast between tight pattern and open paint handling that marks a turn in Monet work of the mid 1870s, away from pure landscape and toward something closer to spectacle. Shown at the second Impressionist group exhibition in 1876, the canvas scale and saturated colour drew attention that his quieter landscapes had not, and it remains an unusual entry in a career otherwise given to haystacks, water, and light.
The hand-painted reproduction
Our studio artists produce this oil painting reproduction by hand, working stroke by stroke on artist-grade canvas rather than running the image through a printer. Particular attention goes to the saturated red of the kimono, the gold thread of the embroidered warrior, and the loose, almost sketched handling Monet gave to the fans and the tatami beneath her feet, so the surface carries the same ridges and passages of visible brushwork as the original. As an oil on canvas reproduction, it is built to be looked at closely, the way the original painting demands.
- Hand-painted in oil on artist-grade canvas, not a printed copy

The scale and colour of this painting suit a room built around a single strong presence, and the subject appeals particularly to collectors drawn to Impressionist portraiture, 19th-century Japonisme, or the rare figure paintings in the career of Monet.
