"When painting flowers, my brain rests. I do not spend the mental effort on them as I do when standing before a model. When I paint flowers, I put down tones, I boldly try out values, unconcerned as to whether I am botching a canvas. I would not dare to do that with a figure, for fear of spoiling everything. And the experience I gain from these experimentations, I apply it later to my [figure] paintings."(translated from German: quoted in: Götz Adriani, Renoir Ausstellungskatalog, Tübigen 1996, p. 274).
