Description
A young boy with short, dark, tousled hair and a straight fringe looks out with wide, calm eyes, his lips slightly parted. A white collar peeks out beneath a dark jacket, closed at the throat with a deep blue purple scarf or cravat.
Renoir renders the boy in the loose, crosshatched strokes of pastel, letting a mottled green and gold background hum with quick, energetic marks around the quieter, more carefully modelled face. The effect is intimate and unfinished feeling, closer to a study than a formal commission.
This portrait is offered as a hand painted oil reproduction on canvas or as an archival giclee canvas print; both are reproductions of Renoir’s original work and not the original piece.
