Madame Georges Charpentier (Marguerite-Louise Lemonnier, 1848–1904) and Her Children, Georgette-Berthe (1872–1945) and Paul-Emile-Charles (1875–1895)

Renoir’s large portrait of a publisher’s wife and her children — the picture that secured his reputation. Soft light and lush brushwork radiate the warmth and elegance of a fashionable home.
