Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) exhibited with the Impressionists in the 1870s and early 1880s and went on to paint for three more decades, focussing on the bucolic landscapes of the South of France, idealised bathing groups, scenes of his family and portraiture. He is known above all for his mastery of colour and was boldly experimental with loose brush strokes and unexpected compositional arrangements. There are five each of two designs, Girl with Basket of Fish and Girl with Basket of Oranges with beautiful tranquil blue skies and the soft flesh of the girls are seen in these beautiful coastal scenes. The notecards themselves are unusual in that they are approximately 10" tall by 4" wide, blank for any occasion, housed in a wallet for safe keeping and with ten white envelopes.
