Lise Tréhot, Renoir’s first mistress, model, and muse, is here depicted with
quiet eroticism by that artist’s friend and colleague, Bazille. Dressed in North
African costume, Tréhot poses in the Left Bank studio that Bazille and Renoir
shared in the late 1860s. Among the most promising members of the Parisian
avant-garde, Bazille did not live to see the flowering of Impressionism in the
following decade. - ArtsViewer.com

Paul Cézanne 'The card players 1892' Each painting depicts Provençal peasants
immersed in smoking their pipes and playing cards. The subjects, all male, are
displayed as studious within their card playing, eyes cast downward, intent on
the game at hand. Cézanne adapted a motif from 17th-century Dutch and French
genre painting which often depicted card games with rowdy, drunken gamblers in
taverns, replacing them instead with stone-faced tradesmen in a more simplified
setting. - art-Cezanne.com
