senes or paintings ot two young girb who had become his models. They reappear in canvas after canvas, gradually growing into young women and serving as a basic theme for the master’s art of the nineties. The Virginia Museum of Fine Art’s “Jeunes Filles Regaidant un Album," the gift of the Williams fund, is one of this long series.
It was painted about 1892 while Renoir and his family were still living in Montmartre. The girls are charmingly arranged within the frame of the canvas, and the brilliant pallette which Renoir so loved has rarely been used to such good effect. His fondness for slightly generalized, slightly plump peach-ripe forms so familiar in his later paintings, is already evident in the “Jeunes Filles,” who have the marvelous sunny quality of all confident young animals. The canvas, too, is Imbued with the pleasure Renoir always took in painting.
