The History

The image on your card reproduces Two Sisters (On the Terrace), painted in 1881 by French Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The card likely comes from an art-themed deck, such as Piatnik’s “Renoir Impressionist” series. The original oil painting is housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. Despite the title, the two girls were not sisters—the older, dressed in blue, was 18-year-old actress Jeanne Darlot, while the younger girl’s identity is unknown. Renoir painted the scene on the terrace of the Maison Fournaise, a riverside restaurant on the Seine also featured in his Luncheon of the Boating Party. The basket of colorful wool in the painting may symbolize Renoir’s palette or playfully reference critics who compared his art to “knitting.”
