“I just let my brain rest when I paint flowers,” Pierre-Auguste Renoir remarked. “I don’t experience the same tension as I do when confronted by the model. When I am painting flowers, I establish the tones, I study the values carefully without worrying about losing the picture. I don’t dare do this with a figure piece for fear of ruining it.” MyArtTaste includes museum record 16617 as a recognizable discovery anchor, using the institution's official open-data metadata and image for this specific work.
