Painted in the summer of 1867 in the Forest of Chailly near Fontainebleau and triumphantly exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1868, Lise with Umbrella (Lise à l’ombrelle) marked Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s first major critical success. Depicting his twenty-year-old lover and favorite early model, Lise Tréhot, this life-sized masterpiece ($118 \times 182\text{ cm}$) challenged traditional academic portraiture by placing a modern woman in contemporary dress directly into an outdoor forest setting. Wearing a voluminous white muslin dress accented by a black sash and carrying a black lace-lined parasol, Lise stands illuminated by sunlight filtering through the dense canopy above. Influenced by Édouard Manet and Gustave Courbet, this monumental work boldly heralded the arrival of Impressionist outdoor figure painting.
