Description
Seen from behind and turning her head in profile, a young woman with auburn hair pinned up glances over her shoulder, a pearl necklace at her throat and a slim brush or fan held in one hand. Her pale, gathered dress is trimmed with soft coral-pink bows at each shoulder, set against a dim, mossy green backdrop.
Painted in 1901, the picture is built from a hushed, dark palette relieved by the warm pink of the bows and the glow of her skin. Renoir keeps the background loose and shadowy, almost tapestry-like, while the face and shoulders emerge more clearly lit, drawing the eye to her calm, thoughtful expression.
This painting is offered as a hand-painted oil reproduction on canvas or as an archival giclee canvas print. It reproduces the work held at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum; it is a reproduction, not the original.
