About this work

This sketch shows a woman bending forward with her hands resting on her knees. Her hair is loose, and her body is turned slightly to the side. The lines are quick and loose, giving a sense of movement and life. The artist focused on the shape and flow of her body, not on fine details. This work is from 1910, when Renoir was older and often painted simpler, softer scenes. Next, check out Pierre-Auguste Renoir to see how his style changed over time.
