Description
A young woman bends over her needlework, her dark hair pulled back under a thin red ribbon and a small red drop earring catching the light. She wears a grey and white striped blouse, its sleeves rolled slightly as her hands work a piece of vivid blue fabric threaded with a needle, a gold ring visible on one finger. Her face is turned down in concentration, lips slightly parted, absorbed entirely in the stitching in her hands.
Renoir sets the figure against a warm, mottled brown background built from loose, visible strokes, so that the cool grey stripes of the blouse and the saturated blue cloth stand out sharply against the earthy tones surrounding her.
This reproduction is available as a hand-painted oil or an archival canvas print, made to order in the size you choose and kept true to the proportions of Renoir’s original composition.
