Description
A woman with a red headscarf and loose auburn-red hair sits with her arms folded, a faint smile on her face as she looks slightly away from the viewer. She wears a loose, pale cream garment, and behind her a wall of decorative tiles is visible, patterned with blue and yellow star motifs on white ground.
Painted in 1882, the picture is built from warm reds in the hair and scarf against the cool blues and greens of the tiled wall, with the white of her clothing and the wall tying the palette together. Renoir’s brushwork is loose and rapid throughout, giving the whole scene a sense of light, sketch-like immediacy.
This work is available as a hand-painted oil reproduction on canvas or as an archival giclee canvas print. It is a reproduction of the original painting, not the painting itself.
