About the piece
Painted in 1866 by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, this early masterpiece depicts his friend Jules Le Coeur in the iconic Forest of Fontainebleau. The work demonstrates Renoir's early interest in the play of natural light, contrasting the pale, vertical trunks of birch trees against a warm, earthy forest floor and lush foliage.
