One of Renoir's most famous engraving. There are 2 prints with this title. The first is a sketch for the second. In the sketch, the woman with open arms offers herself to the happy god of the river. The final engraving where only his left arm is extended, is identical to a painted sketch intended for a decorative panel which has never been executed.
