The painting, characterized by Renoir's signature impressionistic style, features soft, diffuse brush strokes that impart a sense of spontaneity and the fleeting nature of the moment.In this artwork, a mother stands behind her two young daughters, enveloping them in a protective and loving presence. She is adorned in a fashionable dress complemented by a dark, fur-trimmed coat and a sophisticated hat decorated with flowers, illustrating the style of the period. Her expression is serene and attentive, focused on her children.The two girls, dressed almost identically in green dresses with matching hats and adorned with fur at the cuffs and collars, are the epitome of youthful elegance and innocence. The child on the right holds a doll, hinting at the era's customs of play and the nurturing behaviors encouraged in young girls of that time.
