Description
A young boy poses in full Pierrot costume, seated sideways on a small stool with one arm draped loosely over its back and the other tucked into the folds of his sleeve. His face, framed by a soft white conical cap, has the slightly wistful, faraway look Renoir often gave his child sitters, more thoughtful than theatrical despite the costume.
The great mass of the painting is given over to the voluminous white satin suit, painted in long, silvery strokes that catch cool blue and lavender shadows in its folds. A vivid orange ruff collar blazes around the boy’s neck, the single strong note of color against the loose, smoky purple background and the warm ochre floor beneath the stool.
This tender costume portrait works beautifully as wall art in a child’s room or a gallery wall of figure studies. This The White Pierrot composition is offered as a museum-quality canvas print, made to order in a range of sizes and shipped worldwide.
