Description
Shown in profile, a woman wears a broad hat of vivid green trimmed with a pale plume, her copper blonde hair curling out from beneath the brim. A single pearl earring catches the light at her ear, and a small brooch closes the high collar of her rose coloured blouse.
Renoir paints the scene in bold, energetic strokes, the green of the hat echoed and answered by a blue green background streaked with warm gold, while the blouse is built from layered strokes of pink, russet, and cream. It is a portrait full of colour and confident, rapid handling.
This work is available as a hand painted oil reproduction on canvas or as an archival giclee canvas print; both options reproduce Renoir’s original painting, they are not the original itself.
