Description
A young woman sits turned slightly toward us, her auburn hair swept up and pinned with a dark ornament. She wears a black dress with a wide white collar and a soft blue ribbon knotted loosely at her throat, her gloved hands folded together in her lap. Renoir lets that collar catch the light so it practically glows against the darker fabric around it.
Her expression is calm and a little private, eyes turned to the side rather than meeting ours, set against a loose, warm brown background that keeps all the attention on her face and that pale, luminous throat.
Printed on canvas or fine-art paper, this reproduction keeps the contrast between the inky black dress and the crisp white collar sharp and clean. It comes in a range of sizes, so it reads just as well as an intimate portrait in a hallway as it does as a larger focal piece.
