Description
Jeune fille assise sur un sofa shows a young woman reclining against the arm of a sofa, her head tilted back and resting on one raised hand, eyes closed as if dozing. Her loosened green and cream bodice has slipped from her shoulders, and a rust-orange striped skirt covers her lower body, with a wooden armrest and a dark carved table visible behind her.
Renoir paints the figure with soft, blended strokes, giving the skin a pearly luminosity against the looser, more textured handling of the fabric and furniture. The palette moves from cool blue-green in the background to the warm rust of the skirt, with quick touches of gold and red threading through the folds of drapery beneath her.
Painted in 1888, we reproduce this work as a hand-painted oil on canvas or as an archival print, available in a range of sizes.
