Description
Shown in profile against a screen of loose green foliage, a young woman wears a wide straw hat piled with pink roses and black ribbon trim. Her rust-orange jacket, closed with a white collar and a dark sash, fills the lower half of the canvas, while a white glove and the dark handle of a parasol rest in her hand at her side.
Renoir builds the face with smooth, blended strokes while letting the hat’s flowers and the background greenery stay loose and broken, a contrast that pulls the eye straight to her calm, downcast profile. The warm rust of the jacket sits against the cool greens behind her, a favorite Renoir pairing.
This work is offered as a hand-painted oil reproduction or an archival canvas print, made to order in sizes true to the proportions of the original held at the Barnes Foundation.
