information from the Barnes Foundation catalog

description: <p>The painting shows Gabrielle Renard, a beloved nursemaid to the Renoir family who became one of the artist's favorite models. Often Renoir presents Gabrielle in a maternal role, as in the <em>Artist's Family</em> (Room 1) or <em>The Writing Lesson</em> (Room 14). Here, however, Renoir presents a more eroticized version of her. The glittery necklace and cascading scarf are likely props from the artist's studio, while the rose-colored palette—including the tones spreading across her cheeks—suffuses the picture with sensuality.</p>
