"The Umbrella" (French: "L'ombrelle") is a painting by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1881 and 1886. This work is notable for its depiction of a young woman holding an umbrella, a common motif in Renoir's oeuvre that reflects his interest in capturing contemporary Parisian life with its fleeting moments and fashions. The painting is a testament to Renoir's mastery of the Impressionist style, characterized by vibrant light, fluid brushstrokes, and a focus on the effects of natural light on color.

Measuring 180.3 cm × 114.9 cm (71 in × 45.2 in), "The Umbrella" is a large oil on canvas that showcases Renoir's evolving style during the 1880s. The subject, a woman named Suzanne Valadon, who was also an artist and frequently modeled for Renoir, is depicted with a mixture of realism and impressionistic technique. The background of the painting is rendered with loose, expressive brushwork typical of Impressionism, while the figure of the woman is painted with more detail and solidity, reflecting Renoir's renewed interest in classical drawing and form.

The composition of "The Umbrella" is balanced and harmonious, with the figure's placement off-center and the umbrella creating a dynamic diagonal line. The use of light and shadow, as well as the contrast between the woman's attire and the muted tones of the background, demonstrate Renoir's skill in creating depth and volume. The painting is also notable for its exploration of modernity and the changing roles of women in society, as the subject is depicted in a candid, unidealized manner, engaged in the simple act of walking outdoors.

"The Umbrella" is part of a series of works by Renoir that explore similar themes and subjects, and it is often compared to his other paintings of women with umbrellas, such as "Madame Monet and Her Son" and "Woman with a Parasol." The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various museums and galleries, contributing to the understanding of Renoir's work during a pivotal period in his career.

As an iconic piece of Renoir's body of work, "The Umbrella" continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its reflection of the social and artistic milieu of late 19th-century France. It remains a significant example of the transition in Renoir's style from pure Impressionism to a more structured approach, influenced by his travels in Italy and his exposure to Renaissance art.
