About the piece

Created in 1917, this late-period work by Pierre-Auguste Renoir exemplifies his masterful use of color to create volume and atmosphere. The seated figure is bathed in a warm, pearlescent light, set against a richly textured backdrop of blues and earth tones that highlight the artist's signature feather-light brushwork.
