OIL PAINTING: Girl Braiding her Hair, 1885
Renoir gained reputation among the impressionists as "above all, the painter of women". Throughout his career Renoir, who is quoted as saying he found the naked male form 'embarrassing', painted countless women; most of whom fall into two categories: images of female nudes and images of motherhood.
