In this woman with a parasol in a garden, renoir adopts a fully impressionist language. In addition to suppressing the horizon, he uses a way of painting the flowers and bushes in the garden based on small touches of color that create a continuous play of textures, which surrounds the two small figures in the composition. Next to the woman, who is protecting herself from the sun with an umbrella, a crouching male figure appears, perhaps picking a flower, whose proximity suggests that some type of relationship exists between them. The painting was not painted in the countryside but in the garden of the painter's new studio in montmartre. His friend george riviere recalled: "as soon as renoir entered the house, he was fascinated by the view of the garden, which looked like a beautiful, abandoned park. "[1]. Object Type: painting.
