(From info card)
"Here Pierre-Auguste Renoir portrayed the three-year-old daughter of his patron Paul-Antoine Berard as a picture of innocence. Dressed in white, with here small, soft hands positioned rather helplessly at her sides, she looks out past the view, as though toward her future. This is one of a number of portraits of members of the Berard family that Renoir made."

The Met has a painting Renoir did of Lucie's older sister Margot Berard
