Description

Renoir shows a young woman with auburn hair seated in profile, absorbed in a book propped in front of her. Her blouse has slipped off one shoulder, worn loose and off-white with a thin red ribbon knotted at her throat, while a dark, striped skirt gathers in heavy folds around her lap.

She is set against a screen of dense, dappled greenery, rendered in short, broken strokes typical of Renoir’s outdoor figure studies of the later 1880s, when he painted young women reading or resting in gardens again and again, more interested in the play of light on skin and fabric than in any story.

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 to suit your wall.

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.
