Description
A young woman in a wide straw hat piled with red and orange flowers sits with her head tilted slightly, blue eyes gazing off to the side and pink lips gently closed. She wears a loose, striped grey-blue blouse with a soft collar tied at the throat, one arm resting casually on the back of a chair, her hand relaxed and open.
Renoir surrounds her with a deep, textured background of blue and teal, brushed in broad, energetic strokes that echo the cooler tones of her blouse and set off the warm reds of the flowers on her hat. The face is painted with more finish and softness than the rest of the canvas, where the brushwork stays loose and rapid.
This portrait, Portrait de femme au chapeau fleuri, is offered as a hand-painted oil reproduction on canvas, painted by hand to recreate its cool blue palette and flowered hat, or as an archival giclee canvas print made from a high-resolution scan. Both are reproductions for your own wall, not the original 1890 painting.
