Description
Jeune paysanne shows a young countrywoman standing full-length, seen from the side with her head turned to glance over her shoulder. Her dark hair is pinned up in a low knot, and she wears a loose white blouse with full sleeves gathered at the wrist, her hands clasped behind her back at the waist. A long blue-grey skirt falls to her ankles, and plain dark shoes peek out from beneath the hem.
Renoir sets the figure against a bare, sandy-toned ground and wall, painted in loose tan and ochre strokes that leave the woven canvas visible beneath the thin paint layer. The cool blue-grey of the skirt stands out against the warm earth tones surrounding her, giving the modest study a quiet, everyday feel.
We reproduce this painting as a hand-painted oil on canvas or as an archival print, available in a range of sizes so the tall, narrow composition can be scaled to a hallway, a stairwell, or a larger wall.
