Jeanne Samary
Pierre Auguste Renoir’s portrait of the actress Jeanne Samary, painted in 1879, shows a figure bathed in light, the brushwork giving it a glowing quality. Although Renoir was considered an Impressionist, his work was always a little more traditional than that of his fellow Impressionists.
