朱莉·马奈
1887
Renoir painted this portrait of nine-year-old Julie Manet in 1887, capturing her cradling a very sleepy cat. Julie was the daughter of artists Berthe Morisot and Eugène Manet, so she grew up surrounded by the Impressionist elite. Notice the intricate pattern on her white dress and the floral wallpaper behind her—Renoir loved depicting textures and cozy domestic scenes. Julie later became a painter and writer herself, and her childhood diary is now a famous historical record of the Impressionist circle. The cat looks so relaxed it's practically melting into her lap!
