description: <p>In his last years, Renoir spoke about his ambition to unify his figures with their surroundings: "I'm struggling with my figures in order to make them one with the landscape that serves as their background and I want people to feel that they are not flat, and that my trees are not flat either." In 1918, shortly before his death, he said, "At the moment, I am trying to merge the landscape with my figures. The artists of the past have never attempted this." The results of these efforts can be seen in the present canvas, where figure and foliage almost become one. Light, feathery brushstrokes create a diaphanous veil, lending this idyllic rural scene its dreamy atmosphere.</p>
