Description

Seen from the side and slightly from behind, a young girl with dark auburn hair sits reading, her book held low so that a wide straw hat, trimmed with orange red flowers and green foliage, shades her face from view. She wears a deep blue violet dress with a white lace collar at the neck, her attention entirely on the page in front of her.

Renoir sets the glowing hat and its bright trimmings against the dark mass of her dress and hair, using loose, textured strokes throughout, a composition built almost entirely around color and pose rather than the girl’s expression, since her face is turned away and half hidden.

What is offered here is not the original but a faithful reproduction: a hand-painted oil version on canvas, recreated stroke by stroke by a professional painter, or an archival canvas print made with fade-resistant pigment inks, available in a range of sizes.

The craft

The oil edition of this Renoir artwork is painted by hand on canvas. A canvas art print reproduces the image in ink, with the brushmarks visible in the picture rather than raised paint.

  • Oil editions painted individually by studio artists
  • Canvas prints reproduce the image on canvas
  • Individually quality-inspected before it leaves the studio
  • Made to order in your chosen size and presentation

Materials & Care

Materials

The oil reproduction is painted on cotton canvas; the art print is printed on canvas. Rolled canvas arrives without a stretcher. Stretched canvas is mounted on a wooden stretcher frame; thin and thick frames are separate presentation choices.

On request, the studio provides a certificate for your hand-painted reproduction; it certifies the studio's work, not an original by the artist.

Care

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid cleaning products, prolonged direct sunlight and damp conditions.

Sizing

Choose a size and presentation in the options above. Both editions keep the original image proportions.
