Mary Cassatt
American · b. 1844
Cassatt produced Impressionist etchings and drypoints depicting leisurely scenes of women and children in outdoor settings with the same intimate scale and delicate linear quality found in this Renoir beach print.
Camille Pissarro
French · b. 1830
Pissarro was a prolific Impressionist printmaker who created etchings and drypoints of figures in naturalistic outdoor settings, sharing Renoir's approach of translating atmospheric light and leisure into monochrome graphic work on wove paper.
Édouard Manet
French · b. 1832
Manet created etched coastal and figurative scenes with a sketchy spontaneous line closely related to this Renoir drypoint, using similar loose mark making to suggest atmosphere and human presence in seaside and leisure subjects.
