同一个露台 The same terrace

这是沙图富尔奈斯餐厅的露台。就在画这幅画之前不久,雷诺阿在同一个地方画了《游艇上的午宴》。

This is the terrace of the Maison Fournaise at Chatou. Shortly before, Renoir had painted Luncheon of the Boating Party in the very same place.

红帽子 The red hat

年长的女子戴着一顶鲜红色的帽子,是整幅画最亮的一点颜色。

The older girl wears a bright red hat, the most vivid touch of colour in the painting.

毛线篮 The basket of wool

前景放着一个篮子,里面装着彩色的毛线团。

In the foreground is a basket filled with balls of coloured wool.

河上的船 Boats on the river

越过栏杆,能看到塞纳河边停着的划艇和帆船。

Beyond the railing, rowing boats and sailing boats are moored along the Seine.

“和树搏斗” “Struggling with trees”

雷诺阿写信给朋友说,他因为这幅画不想去英国旅行:“我正在和树搏斗。”

Renoir wrote to a friend that he didn't want to leave for England because of this painting: “I am struggling with trees.”

签名 The signature

右下角用蓝色颜料签着“Renoir. 81.”。

Lower right, in blue paint, is the signature “Renoir. 81.”

不是姐妹 Not sisters

“两姐妹”这个画名,是画商在1882年画展时取的。芝加哥艺术博物馆的研究认为,坐着的年轻女子叫让娜·达尔洛,旁边的小女孩并不是她的妹妹。

The title “Two Sisters” was given by the dealer for the 1882 exhibition. Research at the Art Institute of Chicago identifies the seated young woman as Jeanne Darlaud; the little girl beside her was not her sister.
