Jules le Coeur (1832-82) owned a house in Marlotte at which Renoir was frequently a guest at this time. At the end of 1865 Le Coeur introduced him to the 17-year-old Lise Tréhot who became his lover and model until her marriage in 1872. She posed for a number of works and modelled for the paintings Renoir submitted to the Salon, such as Diana, Lise with a Parasol, Summer, Bather with Griffon and Woman of Algiers.
