Description
A young woman with dark, loosely waved hair and long dangling earrings looks out with a slightly wistful, sidelong expression. A pale blue bow is tied at the neck of her white blouse, worn beneath a heavy black wrap that swallows her shoulders in shadow.
Renoir sets her against a deep maroon red wall above a paler, greyish ledge or tabletop, the dark, warm background making the pale blouse and skin glow. The paint is handled with visible, confident strokes, especially in the loose waves of hair and the soft shadow beneath her chin.
This portrait is offered as a hand painted oil reproduction on canvas or as an archival giclee canvas print; it reproduces Renoir’s original painting and is not the original work itself.
