Description
Seen in profile against a rich green ground, a woman wears her auburn hair swept up and pinned with a small gold ornament, a red beaded choker circling her neck above a white blouse. A dark fur wrap gathers at her shoulders, framing the pale skin of her throat and collarbone.
Renoir builds the profile with soft, blended strokes, the warm flesh tones set off by the cooler, textured green of the background, while the fur is suggested with quick, dark, feathery touches rather than tight detail. The mood is calm and self possessed, a quiet moment of stillness.
Held at the Morohashi Museum of Modern Art and measuring 54 x 45 cm in the original, this work is offered as a hand painted oil reproduction on canvas or as an archival giclee canvas print, made as a reproduction and not as the original painting.
