Description
Gabrielle à la rose en chemisier rouge shows a young woman resting her cheek on her hand, elbow propped on a table, looking out at the viewer with a calm, slightly amused expression. A small red flower is tucked into her dark hair, and she wears a bright red blouse with a white collar patterned in small black and red marks.
Renoir paints the blouse in thick, energetic strokes of red and orange that dominate the canvas, while the face is handled more smoothly, with soft pink flushes on the cheeks. The background is a loose wash of pink, mauve, and olive tones, kept simple so the sitter and her red clothing hold the eye.
Painted in 1896, this portrait is reproduced as a hand-painted oil on canvas or as an archival print, offered in a range of sizes to suit any wall.
