About the piece

This 1887 oil study by Pierre-Auguste Renoir captures the profile of a young woman with the artist's characteristic luminous skin and feathery brushwork. The gentle palette of warm ochres and soft blues creates a serene, intimate atmosphere typical of Renoir's late 19th-century works.
