🖼 Portrait of Madame Georges Charpentier, 1876
Oil on canvas
47 × 38 cm

Soft brushwork captures an elegant woman in flowing fabric, bathed in warm light against a richly decorated interior. Renoir's intimate portrait exemplifies Impressionist society painting, blending loose technique with fashionable subject matter that defined 1870s Parisian high culture.
