T. J. Clark describes a painting set in this type of non-opera-house place as depicting a remaining enclave of high society and the “protocols of class” in the first chapter of The Painting of Modern Life. Monet painted nannies watching children in a (10[1])place of this sort called “Monceau (“mawn-SOH”).” Two women in pale yellow dresses and blue-ribboned bonnets sit in the foreground (-5[1])of a crowded scene in this kind of place. (10[1])A museum located within a place (-5[1])of (-5[1])this type has two oval (10[1])rooms (-5[1])displaying (-5[2])Monet’s (10[1]-5[2])Water Lilies. (10[2]-5[3])An (10[1])artist added (-5[1])a painted border of blue, orange, and red (10[1])to a painting set at one of these (10[1])places (10[1]-5[1])in which different social classes lounge and promenade along the Seine (“sen”), as opposed (10[1])to the working-class bathers the same artist depicted (10[1])at nearby Asnières (“ahn-YAIR”).
