Young Girl Bathing by Auguste Renoir: Robert Lehman Collection, 1975

What to notice

Compare the softly modeled figure with the loose blue-green setting; Renoir lets warm skin tones anchor a scene whose surrounding brushwork remains fluid.

Renoir painted Young Girl Bathing in 1892 in oil on canvas. The warm figure is set against loosely handled blue-green surroundings, a contrast that lets the body remain present while the setting dissolves into color and brushwork.
