About the piece

Painted in 1882, this exquisite work by Pierre-Auguste Renoir depicts Marie-Thérèse Durand-Ruel, the daughter of the artist's friend and dealer. The composition masterfully balances the sitter's serene focus on her sewing with the energetic, dappled light of the surrounding garden, all rendered in Renoir's signature soft, feathery brushstrokes.
