RENOIR, Pierre-Auguste
(b, 1841, Limoges, d. 1919, Cagnes-sur-Mer)

In the Summer

1868
Oil on canvas, 85 x 59 cm
Nationalgalerie, Berlin

Renoir's In the Summer is not that far from Salon painting of the period. Only the free rendering of sunstruck leaves in the background and the unprettified, forthright girl indicate a new direction.
