About the piece
Painted in 1875, this charming portrait by Pierre-Auguste Renoir depicts Alphonsine Fournaise, daughter of the owner of the famous Maison Fournaise. The work exemplifies Renoir's early Impressionist style, featuring luminous flesh tones and a sophisticated palette of deep blues contrasted with the textured, translucent white of the sitter's collar.
