Description
A red-haired, red-bearded man rests his head against his hand, elbow propped on the arm of his chair, looking out at us with a steady, slightly amused gaze. He wears a dark jacket over a white shirt and a loosely knotted navy cravat, the kind of relaxed dress of a man sitting for a portrait among friends rather than posing formally.
Behind him, Renoir dissolves the setting into loose dabs of green, gold, and lavender, suggesting a garden without describing it, so that the sitter’s face and warm coloring remain the sharpest thing in the picture.
This portrait is reproduced as a giclee print on canvas or fine-art paper, with the coppery reds of the beard and hair kept rich and warm against the softly blurred garden behind him. Available in multiple sizes for wherever you want to hang it.
