Description
A child’s face emerges sharply from a blurred, hazy setting, blue eyes, rosy cheeks and blonde hair caught under a pale blue bonnet trimmed with a pink flower. The small figure wears dark clothing, and behind her the canvas dissolves into soft greys and greens, indistinct silhouettes of passers-by and the dark shape of a hat or umbrella suggesting a crowded square glimpsed in passing.
The contrast between the crisply painted face and the loosely brushed, almost dissolving background gives the study real immediacy, Renoir isolating a single figure out of a busy street scene.
This study is offered as a hand-painted oil reproduction or as an archival canvas print, made to order in the size of your choice.
