Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1864

Masterpieces · Masterpieces

This painting may be Renoir's earliest signed canvas. Its sensitive display of color and light communicates an ideal of delicate, youthful beauty. The luminous tones of the background drapery and of the child's white blouse result from the artist's careful observation of reflected light and color on translucent materials. It is in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
