Woman in Blue and Zaza in a Landscape 1919

"Woman in Blue and Zaza in a Landscape" is a 1919 oil painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, depicting a woman in a blue dress walking with her dog, Zaza, in a sun-drenched landscape. Renoir's signature Impressionist style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors that capture the fleeting light and movement of the scene. Renoir, known for his masterful depictions of figures and landscapes, created this work near the end of his life, as he was battling the effects of rheumatoid arthritis, but his passion for painting remained strong.
