A woman and dog repose on a sunny day among lush vegetation, with a farmhouse in the background. Set on the Renoir family property in Cagnes, Les Collettes, this landscape was likely painted in the studio rather than en plein air . The farmhouse at Les Collettes was a three-story building, rather larger than the structure in the painting. Furthermore, the difference in scale between the house and the woman indicates that this work is an evocative expression of Renoir's vision of Cagnes as a blissful place of harmony with nature.
