Description
Girl Seated in a Landscape shows a young woman seen mostly from behind, her dark hair gathered in a loose bun, seated on the ground amid a garden setting. She wears a loose, pale blue-grey dress gathered at the waist, its long skirt pooling around her in soft folds, and her arms are drawn up in front of her as she looks off to the side.
Renoir surrounds the figure with a dense, sketchy screen of green and gold foliage, with a patch of blue sky visible in the upper left corner. The paint is applied in short, broken strokes throughout, so that the dress, the ground, and the greenery all dissolve into a shimmer of colour rather than sharp detail.
Painted in 1914 and held at the Barnes Foundation, the canvas measures 34.3 by 26.7 centimetres. We reproduce it as a hand-painted oil on canvas or as an archival print, offered in a range of sizes.
