Choose options
Two Girls Reading, painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir around 1890-91, captures two young girls absorbed in a shared book, their heads tilted close together beneath a wide straw hat trimmed with white lace and a red-orange ribbon bow, one girl resting her chin thoughtfully on her hand as the other looks down at the page. Rendered in Renoir's soft, blended brushwork and warm palette against a leafy green backdrop, the painting reflects his enduring fascination with youth, intimacy, and quiet absorption. It belongs to the group of tender, informal studies of girls at leisure that Renoir returned to throughout the 1890s.
