Girls at the Piano
''Young Girls at the Piano'' (French: Jeunes filles au piano) is an oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. The painting was completed in 1892 as an informal commission for the Musée du Luxembourg. Renoir painted three other variations of this composition in oil and two sketches, one in oil and one in pastel. Known by the artist as repetitions, they were executed to fulfill commissions from dealers and collectors.〔Metropolitan Museum of Art By Gary Tinterow, ISBN 0-8709-9457-3]〕 The work is on public display at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris.
==Description==
Renoir depicts two young girls at a piano in a bourgeois home, one in a white dress with blue sash seated playing and one in a pink dress standing. Renoir completed three additional versions of this composition in oil for collectors; the Luxembourg version is now housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris,〔(Jeunes filles au piano at the Musée d'Orsay )〕 the Robert Lehman Collection version is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York,〔(Two Young Girls at the Piano at the Met )〕 while the Caillebotte version and one other are in private collections. An oil sketch of the composition is on display at the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris and a pastel sketch is in a private collection.〔(Young Girls at the Piano at Google Cultural Institute )〕 The painting in the Musée d'Orsay is 116 cm high and 90 cm wide. The version at the Met is 111.8 x 86.4 cm. The oil sketch at the Musée de l'Orangerie is 116.0 x 81.0 cm.〔http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/orangerie/renoirimage.html〕
Pissarro and Monet routinely painted series of variations on a single theme, but their works were intended to be shown together to chronicle the effects of light and atmosphere, while Renoir’s repetitions were independent essays in composition.〔Nineteenth and Twentieth-century Paintings By Richard Robson Brettell, Paul Hayes Tucker, ISBN 1-5883-9349-6〕 In particular, details and poses changed subtly, and the sketches eliminate most of the background elements.
Renoir explored a similar composition with his earlier 1888 work The Daughters of Catulle Mendès, now in the Annenberg Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.〔(The Daughters of Catulle Mendès at the Met )〕
