Bust of a Young Girl in the Sunlight 81×65 cm Oil on canvas 1875 Collection of Musée d'Orsay, Paris Renoir, among the Impressionist painters, is renowned for his soft, graceful, and sensual nudes. This Bust of a Young Girl in the Sunlight is no exception; it is quintessentially Impressionist, depicting the ecstatic body of a young girl immersed in light, as if caressed by the radiant sun. Renoir said, "I want to paint women like beautiful fruits," adding, "I like to paint those who offer me the image of women whose breasts and backs I long to paint with my own hands."
