Pierre-Auguste RENOIR (France 1841-1919)
Sur la plage à BernevalE
Echting, signed on the bottom right corner
18 x 14 cm (7.1 x 5.5 inches)
This artwork, an echting study, was carried out between 1892 and 1893 during a holiday trip to Normandy with the painter Berthe Morisot and her family. The subject is one of the favorite models of
Renoir, Julie, the daughter of Morisot. Julie is with another girl sitting on the beach watching the landscape and the sea in front of them: the viewer finds himself sharing with them this intimate
moment of relaxation.
