Description
A young woman sits on a bench almost swallowed by the garden around her, wearing a dark bodice over a white blouse and pale skirt, with a black hat over her fair hair. She looks out toward the viewer, her face and hands the only calm, solid forms amid a shimmering field of foliage.
Renoir dissolves the surrounding greenery into a mosaic of short, broken strokes, moss green, gold and violet blue scattered across the whole canvas so that the garden seems to vibrate with light. The figure barely emerges from this pattern, more a presence within the foliage than a separate subject.
This garden portrait is offered as a hand-painted oil reproduction or an archival canvas print, made to order in the size you choose and true to the proportions of Renoir’s original.
