The French impressionist painter, Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), painted Child in White in 1883. His sitter, Lucie Bérard (1880-1977), was about three years old at the time and was the daughter of his friend, the banker, diplomat and businessman Paul Bérard.
“Why shouldn’t art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world.”
“Work lovingly done is the secret of all order and all happiness.”
Take care and keep laughing!
She is so pretty Sarah – makes a beautiful greetings card.

I love Renoir. I also love the girl in the painting of the umbrellas and I used to have one of his ballerinas covering one of my folders in High School.
