Lived a good part of my life in Baltimore.
Amazed that they had a Renoir to begin with.

"Lived a good part of my life in Baltimore...Amazed that they had a Renoir to begin with."

There were two wealthy, Baltimore high society sisters, Claribel and Etta Cone in the early 20th Century who put together an impressive collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings which they left to the BMA and Walters Art Gallery pretty well known in art circles as, "the Cone Collection."

Not sure if this painting was part of it, but certainly wouldn't be surprised if it was.
