Catalogue Note
"The light, deft strokes of Renoir's brush are graceful, supple and unrestrained, making the flesh transparent and tinting the cheeks and lips with a gleaming crimson. Renoir's women are enchanting. If you welcome one into your home, she will be the last person you glance at before leaving and the first you look to upon your return."
