"Portrait of an Anonymous Sitter" is an oil-on-canvas painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir dating from 1875. The work depicts a young woman in a profile view, dressed in a lavish velvet gown. The hazy brushstrokes are characteristic of Renoir's Impressionist style, capturing the fleeting light and atmosphere of a Parisian salon. The painting's soft tones and intimate subject matter convey a sense of elegance and refinement, typical of Renoir's portrayals of fashionable women.
