Andrée in a Hat, Reading c. 1918

"Andrée in a Hat, Reading" is an oil on canvas painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir created around 1918. This portrait of Renoir's daughter-in-law, Andrée, exemplifies the Impressionist style. The subject's soft features and the blurred brushstrokes that create a hazy, dreamlike effect, are characteristic of Renoir's later work. The painting's overall composition creates a sense of intimacy and quietude, capturing Andrée in a moment of peaceful contemplation.
