The story

1867. Monet had no money and a pregnant girlfriend his family refused to accept. So he went back to Normandy.

That's his father sitting in the chair.

Monet put him right there in the foreground, back turned to the viewer. That was a deliberate choice. He was telling his father you are looking the wrong way.

They never got along. He never painted his face
