About the piece

Painted in 1917, this work by Pierre-Auguste Renoir captures the shimmering light and vibrant color characteristic of his late period. A seated figure is nestled within a lush, painterly landscape of soft greens and golds, framed by delicate trees that open onto a distant blue sea. The visible weave of the canvas and the fluid, sketch-like brushwork lend the piece an intimate and timeless quality.
