About the piece
Painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir around 1895, this work captures a private, quiet moment with his characteristic soft, feathered brushwork. The warm, luminous tones of the sitter's skin and dress contrast gently with the cool, textured green background, embodying the gentle domesticity and light-filled atmosphere central to Renoir's late style.
