"Girlhood," a charcoal drawing by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, captures the delicate beauty of two young women, their figures rendered in loose and expressive strokes. The artist, known for his Impressionist paintings, demonstrates his mastery of capturing light and shadow, and the casual elegance of the figures. The drawing, likely a study for a larger work, embodies the charm and innocence of youth, showcasing Renoir's skill at capturing fleeting moments in life.
