Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Girl with a Jump Rope (Portrait of Delphine Legrand), Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1876, Oil on canvas, Early in his career, before he found a real market for his work, Renoir made ends meet by painting portraits for the elite of the Paris art world. This one represents Delphine Legrand, the daughter of the art dealer Alphonse Legrand, who helped mount the second impressionist exhibition in 1876. Delphine's bright blue dress is a good example of the radical brushwork introduced by this group: brushstrokes are lively, moving in different directions, each one visible and unblended. At the same time, Renoir anchors himself in tradition, presenting the girl in a shallow space and pose that clearly recalled 17th-century court portraiture., Overall: 42 1/4 x 27 15/16 in. (107.3 x 71 cm)
