In this sunlit Provençal scene, two women relax in a flowery field near a tall tree; the red roofs of a small town dot the distant hills. Renoir weaves the land and figures into a tapestry-like network of soft, bright brushstrokes. Indeed, the artist described his late-career ambition to merge his figures with their surroundings: "I'm struggling with my figures in order to make them one with the landscape that serves as their background and I want people to feel that they are not flat, and that my trees are not flat either."
