During the 1870s, alongside his ambitious modern life subjects such as Leaving the Conservatory , Renoir painted very many canvases of single figures. Some of these were portraits, but many were more generic, showing unidentified figures, generally bust length, focusing on their everyday activities. Woman Crocheting is one of the most elaborated and highly finished of these canvases.
