#50 Luncheon of the Boating Party — Coaster

Every face here belonged to somebody Renoir knew — fellow painters, an actress, the restaurant owner's son, and in the foreground Aline Charigot, playing with a small dog, who married him nine years later. He worked on the terrace of a restaurant on the Seine across several months, bringing the models back one or two at a time, which is why the light never quite settles.
