Brooches

This pin features a detail from the work by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), City Dance, 1883, musée d'Orsay.

City Dance. Country Dance
Renoir liked dance scenes. These two paintings were designed as a pair: the format is identical and the almost life-size figures represent two different even opposite aspects of dancing. The elegant restraint of the city dancers and the cool ballroom around them contrasts with the gaiety of the country dance in the open air.
