Description
A dark-haired woman is shown from the waist up, her shoulders bare, one arm raised as she runs a comb through her long hair with slender fingers. Her head tilts gently toward the viewer, lips slightly parted, while a loose white cloth slips from her shoulder. Behind her, a warm field of golden ochre and amber brushstrokes fills the background, broken by a cooler grey patch at the upper left.
Painted in 1907, the picture is a close, intimate study of an everyday gesture, the kind of unposed moment Renoir returned to again and again in his later portraits of women at their toilette.
This composition is available as a hand-painted oil reproduction or an archival canvas print, made to order in the size of your choice, keeping the proportions of the original painting.
