Description
A slender woman in a pale cream dress stands quietly amid tall grass, her dark hair pinned up and marked with a small pale ornament. Her face is left soft and indistinct, more a suggestion of a figure caught in dappled shade than a detailed likeness, while her long skirt catches touches of blue-grey shadow in its folds.
Renoir surrounds her with a dense curtain of dark green and olive foliage, painted in broad, loose strokes that dissolve into the greenish-gold grass at her feet. Small flecks of red and white among the leaves at left hint at garden flowers glimpsed through the trees, while the overall handling stays fast and sketch-like throughout, closer to a study than a finished portrait.
This early, intimate figure study brings the freshness of Renoir’s outdoor sketching into a small wall grouping. This Woman Standing by a Tree composition is offered as a museum-quality canvas print, made to order in a range of sizes and shipped worldwide.
