Young Woman Arranging Her Earring
Pierre-Auguste Renoir1905
The Cleveland Museum of Art
Cleveland, United States
During his later years, Renoir moved away from pure Impressionism toward a classicizing style featuring strong, monumental figures of substantial weight and volume. This depiction of a woman arranging her earrings, a superb example of that trend in the artist's late work, may have been inspired by one of the figures in Eugène Delacroix's <em>Women of Algiers in their Apartment </em>(Musée du Louvre, Paris).
