Description

Figures on the Beach by Auguste Renoir captures a sunlit moment on the Côte d’Azur, where two women, a child, and a small white dog enjoy the seaside. The seated woman, holding a parasol, exchanges a glance with the standing figure beside her, who carries a basket. A young boy in blue stands near the water, seemingly tossing something into the waves. Renoir’s loose brushwork and warm palette evoke a sense of leisure and simplicity, reflecting his late-career skepticism toward industrialization and his embrace of natural beauty.
