Description
Jeune fille se peignant shows a young woman seen from behind and to the side, her head turned in profile as she lifts one hand to her upswept auburn hair. She wears a loose white chemise that slips from one shoulder, baring her back, and a thin bracelet circles her wrist. Her expression is calm and inward, absorbed in the small task of arranging her hair.
Renoir sets her pale skin and white garment against a dark sage-green wall on one side and a warm golden-ochre curtain on the other, the two grounds built with broad, visible strokes that let the canvas texture show through in places. The contrast of cool green and warm gold frames the figure without competing with her.
We reproduce this painting as a hand-painted oil on canvas or as an archival print, available in a range of sizes so the portrait can suit a bedroom corner or a larger gallery wall.
