Description
A nude woman reclines on her side, seen from behind, her body curled gently as she rests her head on one bent arm. Renoir paints her skin in smooth, pearly tones that catch a warm golden light, the curve of her back and hip forming the calm central mass of the composition.
She lies on a white cloth draped over reddish-brown fabric, her auburn hair spilling loosely around her shoulders and echoing the warm russet tones of the drapery beneath her. Behind her, a sun-drenched landscape of golden grass, dense green shrubs and a pale strip of sky or water dissolves into loose, sketch-like strokes, giving the whole scene an open-air, late-afternoon warmth.
This classic Renoir nude, prized for its soft handling of light on flesh, is available as a made-to-order canvas print in a range of sizes up to large formats, shipped worldwide for a bedroom or private study.
