A young woman and a small girl sit on the terrace of the Maison Fournaise restaurant at Chatou, with shrubs and the river Seine beyond the railing. The "sisters" were not related: the elder was modelled by Jeanne Darlot, an 18-year-old future actress. Renoir sold it to the dealer Durand-Ruel within months and showed it at the seventh Impressionist exhibition in 1882.
Look closer
Look for the small basket of wool balls in the foreground. Renoir had just painted Luncheon of the Boating Party on the same terrace.
