Description
A red-haired woman reclines full-length across the wide canvas, eyes closed, one arm raised behind her head in a pose of complete ease. She lies on a spread of white drapery in an outdoor setting, a loosely tied green and blue sash draped low across her hips, with rocks and lush greenery rising behind her and small white flowers dotting the foliage at the right.
Renoir paints her skin in soft, warm pinks and creams that glow against the surrounding greens and earthy browns of the landscape, the whole scene rendered in loose, blended brushstrokes typical of his late style. The long, low format of the canvas stretches the figure out horizontally, giving the composition an unhurried, restful quality.
This piece is offered as a hand-painted oil reproduction on canvas or as an archival giclée canvas print. Both are reproductions of the original painting at the Barnes Foundation, not the original artwork.
