Renoir's sunny double portrait of two women on a garden terrace at Chatou is one of his most beloved paintings. The elder holds a tennis racket; the younger, a basket of flowers. The brilliant light, the vibrant brushwork, and the warmth of the two figures' relationship make this a quintessential expression of Impressionist joie de vivre.
