Portrait of Marie Lestringuez 1912

Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "Portrait of Marie Lestringuez" from 1912, portrays the young woman with a soft and delicate touch characteristic of the artist's later style. The painting features a muted palette, with a focus on capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow on the sitter's face and the texture of her clothing. The loose brushstrokes contribute to a sense of immediacy and intimacy, drawing the viewer in to the subject's gentle expression.
