Find the repeated child’s head near the top, then compare those small portraits with the reclining and standing figures elsewhere.
This canvas brings together studies of Renoir’s son Pierre, Pierre’s mother Aline Charigot, nudes, and landscape. It does not describe one continuous place or moment. Images change size and overlap, letting us compare the painter’s attention to a familiar face with his exploration of a body’s pose.
