Description
A young woman in profile fills the right side of the canvas, her auburn hair gathered under a pale fur-trimmed hat tied with a black ribbon, her coat edged in soft fur at the collar. Behind her, the Place Clichy dissolves into a hazy, sunlit crowd of Parisians and carriages, painted with quick, almost dissolving strokes that leave the passers-by as soft blurs of colour. Painted around 1880 and now in the Fitzwilliam Museum, the picture contrasts a crisply observed foreground figure with a street scene glimpsed almost like a fleeting impression.
This wall-art reproduction reproduces that contrast of sharp portrait and misty street life as a museum-quality canvas or fine-art print, made to order in the size and finish that suit your room, from a compact study print to a larger centrepiece.
