Description
Seen from the side, a woman raises both arms to gather her long dark hair, one hand at the crown of her head and the other drawing a lock over her shoulder as if braiding or pinning it up. Her loose white chemise slips off one shoulder, baring warm, sunlit skin rendered in soft strokes of peach and rose. Beside her, a white wash basin sits ready on a stand, and a gilt-framed mirror leans against a richly patterned rust-and-olive wallpaper, the whole scene lit as if caught in a quiet, unguarded moment of a morning toilette.
Painted in 1907 and now in the Louvre, the picture is a late, intimate study by Renoir, the paint applied in warm, glowing layers that give the woman’s skin an almost golden softness against the deep tones around her.
The print holds onto that warmth, from the rich terracotta of the wallpaper to the pale glow of the chemise, produced as a museum-quality giclée on canvas or fine-art paper in multiple sizes, ready to hang.
