Odalisque à la théière (Odalisque avec service à thé)
c. 1917-1919
Renoir painted this voluptuous figure during his later years, when severe rheumatoid arthritis forced him to strap brushes to his hands. Despite his pain, he celebrated the female form with warm, glowing colors and loose, feathery brushstrokes. The 'odalisque' theme was a favorite of his, blending everyday domesticity—like serving tea—with the exotic allure of a harem girl.
