The painting itself represented a return by Renoir to a gentler, more delicate style after his years of experimenting with Impressionism. As he himself said at the time in a letter to the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel "I have taken up again, never to abandon it, my old style, soft and light of touch. This is to give you some idea of my new and final manner of painting".
