Description
A young girl stands facing the viewer, one hand resting on her hip, her long auburn hair loose beneath a straw hat banded in dark blue. She wears a dark, pin striped jacket and matching knee length breeches, a fisherman’s outfit belted at the waist, and holds a long handled fishing net propped against the ground in her other hand.
Renoir sets her sturdy, confident pose against a softly brushed, almost abstract ground of pink, lavender, and pale gold, the setting reduced to a haze of seaside light, so that the girl’s striped costume and bright red shoes carry the whole composition.
What is offered here is not the original but a faithful reproduction: a hand-painted oil version on canvas, recreated stroke by stroke by a professional painter, or an archival canvas print made with fade-resistant pigment inks, available in a range of sizes.
