Caroline Rémy
c. 1885
Renoir captured the fiery French journalist and feminist Caroline Rémy in this striking pastel portrait from around 1885. Notice how her piercing blue eyes seem to look right through you, framed by a chic blue dress and a vibrant burst of red and orange flowers at her neck. The soft, feathery strokes of the medium give her skin a glowing, almost ethereal quality against the warm yellow background. It’s a perfect snapshot of a bold, modern woman of the Parisian avant-garde, rendered with the artist's signature gentle touch.
