The family had just returned to France: during the war between France and Prussia Monet had stayed abroad, in London and in Holland. On his return the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel was buying his paintings, and with that money Monet was able to rent a house with a garden at Argenteuil, just outside Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn that garden he painted Jean on his toy, a wooden horse with three wheels and pedals. The boy is posing, serious, with his hat on, and the background of dark leaves sets off his light-coloured clothes. The picture was never shown at an exhibition: Monet kept it for himself to the end of his days. The original is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a child's room or a corridor it brings the joy of an afternoon of play.
