![Claude Monet - Jean Monet on His Hobby Horse [1872] by Gandalf's Gallery](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tNcy_r4dYYX8G1sY27EZG_Cb8C1pD-Qn_x4odskKx76_GzzfHoyW3w-XKb0JUHFsxIjvaJna4H3hURnTdGn8aMD68jhb987KTzQa8saPpCPMlbKFkhumPcgKwZspRyjw=s0-d)
Claude Monet and Camille's first son, Jean (1867-1913), was born in 1867. The little boy appeared in several of Monet's paintings during the family's early residence in Argenteuil. In a fond glimpse of Jean's childhood rather than a formal portrait, Monet has depicted his son riding a favourite toy, playing in the privacy of the family's garden.
