Sul dipinto
This painting may be Renoir's earliest signed canvas. Its sensitive display of color and light communicates an ideal of delicate, youthful beauty. The luminous tones of the background drapery and of the child's white blouse result from the artist's careful observation of reflected light and color on translucent materials. The delicate nuances of color, particularly in the young girl's face, reveal Renoir's previous training as a decorator of porcelain. He painted this portrait, commissioned by the vacationing Lacaux family, during his stay at an artist's colony in the village of Barbizon, near Paris.

Nella vita di Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Tutta la vita1862
Meeting Monet, Sisley and Bazille
While studying under Charles Gleyre, Renoir befriended Alfred Sisley, Frédéric Bazille and Claude Monet, who had entered the École; together with Cézanne and Pissarro, who joined them, they formed the core of the future Impressionist group. He grew especially close to Monet, with whom he often painted and shared lodgings.
