Sitting Girl 1917

"Sitting Girl" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1917. It depicts a young woman in a relaxed pose, her head resting on her hand, with a contemplative expression. Renoir's signature style, characterized by soft, flowing lines, is evident in the figure's delicate features and the way the light seems to caress the subject's skin. The subtle shading and the overall sense of tranquility create a feeling of intimacy and suggest the artist's deep appreciation for the human form.
