Description
Renoir positions his sitter close to the canvas edge, her chin resting on her hand as she gazes out with quiet, direct attention. Loose curls frame her face, and a striped shawl of blue, cream and gold falls loosely over her dark dress, its highlights caught in quick, confident strokes.
Behind her, a patterned brocade drapery on the left gives way to a deep, textured blue wall on the right, the two grounds pushing her pale, softly blended features forward into the light. A small gold earring catches a single bright touch of color.
This reproduction is available as a hand-painted oil reproduction or an archival canvas print, made to order in the size you choose and kept true to the proportions of the original 46 x 38 cm portrait.
