Renoir’s painting Two Girls Reading (c. 1890–91) illustrates qualities of both his impressionist
style and his later period. He, and many other impressionists, often depicted women and
children engaged in domestic and leisure activities. This painting also alludes to Renoir’s
interest in the traditions of great art of the past. It shares many characteristics of seventeenthcentury
genre paintings, which depict people absorbed in everyday activities in domestic
interiors. The loose application of paint and the bright color palette suggest a sunlit day, and
the girls’ poses create a mood of intimate calm. Jean Renoir once said that “Renoir was always
discovering and rediscovering the world at every instant of his existence, with every breath of
fresh air he drew.” Around the time he executed this painting, he was already considering how
he could further develop his artistic style.
