Two Sisters (On the Terrace)

Two Sisters (On the Terrace) is an 1881 oil-on-canvas painting by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, now in the Art Institute of Chicago. Renoir painted it on the terrace of the Maison Fournaise, a restaurant on an island in the Seine near Chatou, west of Paris, depicting two young women seated outdoors with a basket of yarn overlooking the river. He began the work in April 1881 and sold it to the dealer Paul Durand-Ruel that July; it was shown at the seventh Impressionist exhibition in 1882 before entering the collection of Annie Swan Coburn, who bequeathed it to the Art Institute of Chicago in 1933.
