| Description |  |
Themes of courtship and leisure often appear in Renoir's art. Here a young man leads an elegantly dressed woman into the shade and privacy of the woods. Having spent the previous summer painting outdoors alongside Claude Monet, Renoir displayed in this work a shift toward the high-keyed colors characteristic of the emerging Impressionist style. The artist's feathery brushwork beautifully conveys the dappled effect of sunlight filtered through foliage.
