'''Moulin de la Galette''' is an 1876 design sketch by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in preparation for his larger and more famous painting, ''Bal du moulin de la Galette''. This preliminary work is executed in oil on canvas, and it captures the lively atmosphere of the popular outdoor dance hall and garden known as the Moulin de la Galette in the Montmartre district of Paris. Renoir's sketch is notable for its loose brushwork and the play of light and shadow, which hint at the impressionistic style that he would fully develop in the final painting.

The ''Moulin de la Galette'' was a popular venue for Parisians, offering entertainment and the opportunity to enjoy the open air during the Belle Époque. Renoir was drawn to the vibrancy and movement of the scene, which allowed him to explore themes of leisure and modern life that were central to Impressionist art. In this sketch, Renoir experiments with the effects of dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, as well as the dynamics of social interaction among the diverse crowd of Parisians.

Although less detailed than the completed ''Bal du moulin de la Galette'', the design sketch provides valuable insight into Renoir's artistic process and his focus on capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life. The sketch is held in a private collection, and it is occasionally exhibited in museums as part of exhibitions on Renoir or Impressionism. It remains an important piece for understanding the development of one of Renoir's most celebrated masterpieces and the broader context of 19th-century French art.
