On the Grass (Henriot Family) — Renoir, 1873–74, Pushkin Museum, Art Postcard

Pierre-Auguste Renoir's On the Grass, also known as the Henriot Family picture, was painted in 1873–74: a man reads under hanging wisteria, a straw hat resting in the grass beside him, a young woman in white lies in the grass with a small dog beside her. The painting belongs to the collection of the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. As a postcard, it is a garden reading and a lazy afternoon — suited to a friend who treats books and gardens as the same activity, to a thank-you for a quiet weekend, or to the inside cover of a summer journal.
