Description
A young woman sits in a bamboo armchair, dark hair pinned up and set off by a soft pink flower ornament. Her pale cream gown is gathered at the shoulder and sleeves with large, softly crumpled salmon-pink bows, and one hand rests on a bundle of white fabric, perhaps a hat or shawl, in her lap while the other rests on the chair’s curved arm. Her expression is composed and mild, lips faintly touched with colour.
Renoir keeps the whole scene in a narrow, harmonious range of warm neutrals, cream, beige and dusty pink, with the golden cane of the chair providing the only firm structural lines in an otherwise soft, atmospheric painting. The brushwork is loose throughout, blending fabric, chair and background into a single soft haze.
This portrait is available as a hand-painted oil reproduction on canvas, painted by hand to capture its soft, harmonious palette, or as an archival giclee canvas print made from a high-resolution scan. Both are reproductions for display, not the original painting.
