About the piece

Painted in 1881, this canvas features a series of delicate oil sketches of the Berard children. Renoir's signature Impressionist style is evident in the luminous, feathery brushwork and the soft palette of blues and whites, creating a tender and timeless domestic scene that works beautifully as a standalone study.
