Geocache Description:


This cache is a part of The Detroit Institute of Arts Inside/Out program.


Woman in an Armchair, 1874
Pierre Auguste Renoir (French, 1841 – 1919)

Bequest of Mrs. Allan Shelden III
Dimensions Framed: 32 x 27 ¼ in.

One of the original “impressionists,” Renoir painted the female figure throughout his career. In this early work, he accentuates the glowing flesh of the sitter’s face, upper torso, and arms by surrounding it with the dark tones of the dress, hair, and armchair.
