Renoir | L'église à essoyes, 1890

Renoir | Figures on the Beach, 1890

Probably painted in 1890 on the Cote d’Azur in southern France, this sun-filled painting shows two female figures at the beach.

The seated figure is shown in profile, her right hand holding a parasol on the sand. She exchanges a look with the standing figure to her right who holds a basket at her side.

The women are joined by a small white dog, and before the water stands a young boy dressed in blue, seemingly throwing an object into the ocean.
