Moulin de la Galette. Renoir

Light seen as sunlight through a Japanese shade

Red through many of their mouths, and often their hair

but also spots of a duller red on the back of this

gentleman's coat and the back of his head

The woman stares at him without smiling

from three tables away. Paying slight attention

the gentleman listens to this young girl's mother

admonishing him to consider the true fair-haired beauty

of her daughter here, who has grown so delicate

and fresh under her hand. The gentleman may want

to spend a few minutes alone with her daughter

in conversation. While the artist and his friend

look on the entirety, without desire or plan
