This is my favorite...I make a stop at this painting every time I'm there (well, I've only gone four times, but still). I don't know anything about art, but I think Renoir must have had a genuinely warm interest in people, and he captured them at their tenderest moments. I could stare at this painting forever. It's one of the most romantic, graceful images I've ever seen, from the tilt of her head, to brushing of her dress on his leg, to his unseen eyes (so obviously fixed on her), to the tip of her shoe peeking out.
