1868
Renoir painted this radiant portrait of his favorite model and mistress, Lise Tréhot, during the early days of Impressionism. Notice how her dark, wavy hair cascades over a simple white blouse and striped skirt, set against a vibrant backdrop of lush green foliage. It captures a casual, intimate moment that broke away from stiff, formal portraits of the time. Lise was the only woman Renoir painted exclusively for six years, making this piece a true labor of love.
