Nudes and the grand tradition ofclassical art preoccupied Renoir in the 1880s.In this painting, he paid homage to Ingres"s Grande Odalisque (Musee du Louvre, Paris), although he transformed Ingres's cool courtesan into a healthy, pink-cheeked girl, and the harem into an Impressionist landscape reminiscent of the Channel coast.
