FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

The pink trimmings on the girl's bonnet are set off against the sky-blue background. Loose brushwork conveys a sense of spontaneity as the girl reaches to untie the ribbon under her chin. Dr. Barnes installed this painting above a bowl by Renoir's son Jean, making a connection between the two. The girl's round hat rhymes with the light blue bowl sitting on the x-bar stretcher of the table underneath the picture. The similar palettes point to the influence of father on son.
