The Red Cape, also sometimes known as Madame Monet or The Red Kerchief,[1] is an oil-on-canvas snowscape by French impressionist Claude Monet. The painting depicts Claude Monet's wife, Camille, passing outside of a window dressed in a red cape.[2]

Monet painted the painting while living in Argenteuil.[1] The solitary setting at his home there allowed him to paint in relative peace, as well as spend time with his family.[1] It is Monet's only known snowscape painting that features Camille Monet.[3] It is exhibited in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio.
