Description
A woman in a rust-red top sits on the grass cradling a small child dressed in white against her shoulder, while a young girl in a pale pink dress and a yellow bonnet sits facing them on the right. Between the two groups, a dark green basket rests on the ground, and the whole scene is set outdoors in a soft haze of green grass and pale, sunlit foliage.
Renoir paints this family group with extremely loose, hazy strokes, faces and details left barely resolved, so the warmth of the gathering comes through in color and gesture rather than sharp likeness. The rust-red of the woman’s top and the pink of the girl’s dress stand out gently against the surrounding greens.
This painting is available as a hand-painted oil reproduction or an archival canvas print, made to order in sizes true to the original proportions, held at the Barnes Foundation.
