Andrée Heuschling, known as Dédée at the time, was Renoir's last model. She posed for him from 1917 to 1919 in many different settings, costumes, and states of dress. The teenage Dédée inspired a final prolific period of painting for the aging, arthritic artist. Renoir enthused that her skin "took the light" better than any other model. Here she poses for him in a traditional scene of a woman reading; he complements her rosy skin with a pink robe and flowered hat set against a green-tinted background.
