The painting "Women in the Garden" was a very unusual work for viewers of Monet's contemporaries. Innovation begins already with the composition - the arrangement of figures with their backs and half a turn, the cut edges of puffy dresses, all this was impossible for academic painting. The representation of the genre is also unusual, since an ordinary everyday scene turns into a landscape by the will of Monet's magic brush - female figures become an integral part of nature, its continuation, "dissolving" in the surrounding greenery of the garden.
