| Description |  |
Between 1888 and 1892, Renoir painted a number of works in which the same pair of young girls, the blonde wearing a white frock and the brunette a pink one, are posed together - by a piano, reading, talking in the countryside or, as here, picking flowers. These intimate genre scenes, which celebrate youthful innocence, found a ready market in the early 1890s. The same models appear in Two Girls at the Piano of 1892 (Robert Lehman Collection).
