This work can be considered the paradigm of Impressionist language: the technique of the fragmented brushstroke, the capturing of the shades of light, the absolute protagonism oof colour, which vibrates with surprising force. All these elements are characteristic of the innovations of the first period of the movement. Painted around 1873, in the period that Renoir was going to Argenteuil to paint together with Manet, both of them seeking the effects of light in the open air.
