His painting <em>Two Sisters (On the Terrace)<\/em>, which he exhibited at the Impressionist exhibition of 1882, is among the last of his paintings set there.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, as in his most famous work on this subject, <em>Luncheon of the Boating Party<\/em> (1882; Phillips Collection, Washington, DC), Renoir used his close friends as models. For <em>Two Sisters<\/em>, however, despite the title of the painting, he paid unrelated models to create this intimate and perfectly balanced pairing of youth and nature. The older girl, wearing the blue flannel of a female boater\u2019s outfit, sports a luxurious red hat, but it is her younger companion who captivates. Her oversize headdress composed of a floral bouquet is echoed in the brightly colored skeins of yarn in the basket that she gently touches. As was typical for the artist, Renoir painted the faces of his models with controlled and precise brushwork creating a porcelain-like surface that contrasts brilliantly with the diaphanous, impressionist backdrop of river, boats, and blossoming trees just beyond the railing of the terrace.<\/p>\n","short_description":"Despite the title, the young women in this painting were not actually sisters. The older girl in the center gazes absently beyond her younger companion, whose red cheeks suggest that she just dashed into the picture. These casual expressions make this \u201csisterly\u201d moment feel genuine. Renoir juxtaposed the girls\u2019 figures against a dreamy landscape, the basket of yarn evoking an artist\u2019s palette.","dimensions":"100.4 \u00d7 80.9 cm (39 1\/2 \u00d7 31 7\/8 in.); Framed: 119.1 \u00d7 100.1 \u00d7 7.7 cm (46 7\/8 \u00d7 39 3\/8 \u00d7 3 in.)","dimensions_detail":[{"depth":null,"width":80,"height":100,"diameter":null,"clarification":null},{"depth":7,"width":100,"height":119,"diameter":null,"clarification":"Framed"}],"medium_display":"Oil on canvas","inscriptions":"Inscribed lower right: Renoir '81","credit_line":"Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Larned Coburn Memorial Collection","catalogue_display":null,"publication_history":"Ernest Hosched\u00e9, L\u2019art de la mode (1881), (ill.).\n\nCatalogue de la 7me exposition des artistes independants, exh. cat.
