From Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute at Williamstown:
A fashionably dressed woman stands before an undefined background of blue and green tones that suggests the outdoors. Her gestures and expression are as open to interpretation as the setting. Although her sideways glance seems to hint at something happening beyond the frame, Renoir may have simply intended to highlight the woman’s appealingly youthful features and fresh complexion.
