Two Girls is a 1896 oil by Auguste Renoir, a Impressionism work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting depicts two young girls sitting together, their faces turned slightly away from the viewer. The girl on the left wears a large straw hat adorned with red flowers, while the other girl sports a black hat with a gold band. Both girls are dressed in long-sleeved dresses, with the girl on the left wearing a pink dress and the other a reddish-brown dress with a black collar. The background of the painting is a blurred landscape, with hints of green and blue. The overall effect is one of softness and subtlety, with the girls' features and clothing rendered in delicate brushstrokes.
