More about this artwork
In the painting, a young girl is depicted from a close, intimate perspective, focusing on her nude torso and bent head, which tilts forward gently, obscuring her face. Renoir's brushwork softly blends the warm, rich tones of her skin with the delicately diffused background hues of green and brown, evoking a lush, serene environment. The play of light and shadow accentuates the curvature of her back, shoulders, and the nape of her neck, lending a tender luminescence to the figure.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau."
