"The Umbrella" is an oil painting by the Russian artist Maria Konstantinova Bashkirtseva, also known as Marie Bashkirtseff. Created in 1883, this work is one of the notable pieces from Bashkirtseff's brief but prolific career, which was cut short by her untimely death at the age of 25 due to tuberculosis. The painting is exemplary of Bashkirtseff's realist style, which she honed under the tutelage of artists at the Académie Julian in Paris, a progressive art school that admitted women.

The artwork depicts a rainy day scene with two central figures, a young woman and a child, sharing an umbrella. The composition captures the nuances of everyday life and the fleeting, intimate moments that often go unnoticed. Bashkirtseff's attention to detail and her ability to convey the dampness of the weather and the subjects' response to their environment are evident in the painting's execution.

"The Umbrella" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context. Bashkirtseff was part of the burgeoning women's movement in the arts during the late 19th century, and her works often reflected her personal struggles and the broader societal challenges faced by women of her time. The painting is a testament to her skill and determination to succeed in a male-dominated art world.

Today, "The Umbrella" is considered an important work in the oeuvre of Marie Bashkirtseff and is studied for its contribution to the realist movement as well as its representation of women's experiences in the 19th century. The painting is housed in a notable museum or gallery, where it continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
