Impressionism II


Wolf, this one's for you. It's the Renoir Blonde Bather I've been threatening to post seemingly forever. She's plumper than we like them today, but no less exquisite for that. Aside from that, the painting is another fine example of impressionism. (Natalie, you have nobody to blame but yourself.)

IIRC, this painting (or perhaps another of Renoir's) was mentioned at the art gallery. The observer was encouraged to look closely at the rendition and pay attention to the brush strokes. Incidentally, I didn't see any copies of this particular exquisite work on display, although there were others of similar beauty.
