Michel Monet au chandail bleu is a 1892 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Musée Marmottan Monet.
This painting shows a young boy with short, dark hair and a blue sweater. The boy's face is the main focus of the painting, with the background blurred and out of focus. The boy's expression is neutral, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The painting is done in a style that emphasizes the play of light and color, with thick brushstrokes and vivid hues. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the painting.
