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 he complements her rosy skin with a pink robe and a flowered cushion and sets her red hair against blue fabric in the background.
