'Garden at Sainte-Adresse,' Monet’s 1867 painting of a sun-dappled seaside that features the artist’s father, Adolphe, wearing a panama hat and watching boats, has belonged to the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1967. 'Adolphe Monet Reading in a Garden,' painted the same year, in which the artist’s father — wearing the same clothes — is relaxing with a newspaper in the shade.
