Description
A woman with dark, loosely pinned hair wears an orange-and-white striped scarf knotted at the back of her head, its long fringed ends trailing over her shoulder. A layered necklace of pale beads rests against her bare chest, and a soft pink wrap slips from one shoulder, leaving her upper body largely uncovered in the manner of an exotic studio costume rather than everyday dress. She turns her head slightly, her dark eyes looking off to the side with a calm, direct expression.
Renoir sets the warm flesh tones of her face and shoulders against a golden ochre wall and a striped orange curtain, using the same warm palette throughout so the scarf, skin, and background all seem lit by the same soft, glowing light.
This portrait is offered as a hand-painted oil reproduction or as an archival canvas print, made to order in sizes that keep the proportions of the original 49.2 x 42.9 cm canvas, drawn from the version held by the Barnes Foundation.
