About the piece
Painted in 1917, this late work by Pierre-Auguste Renoir exemplifies the artist's masterful use of warm tones and loose, gestural brushwork. The scene depicts a woman immersed in a book, her vibrant orange dress and yellow hat harmonizing with the golden light filtering through the surrounding greenery.
