Identifying an Impressionist painting--Help?!

My friend has a print of a painting that we would like to know the artist of. The basics are that it looks to be 1850s-1910(ish) oil painting of a man sitting in a garden with an umbrella/parasol. His back is to the viewer and he is sitting among what looks to be rose bushes. In the background is the corner of a cream-coloured barn/house and on the left is a jointed umbrella. He is wearing a dark suit and country-style gentleman's hat. The foreground is a golden grass with obvious brush strokes, but not so much as Monet's. My guesses for artists are on the Monet and Renoir style, but I can't find a reference of this painting anywhere. Oh, and there are no signatures, so we've already tried that route.

PLEASE help us!! Thanks!

Not unless there's multiple different versions of that one (Cezanne's Gardener). It's more a Monet style than Cezanne--there's actual definition and lines. The man is sitting in the garden with his back to the viewer and there's a jointe umbrella next to him. No chairs or anything involved.
