Description
A fair-haired girl in a white dress dotted with small gold flowers sits at an upright piano, one hand resting on the keys and the other holding open a sheet of music propped on the stand. Behind her, a second girl in a pink polka-dot dress leans in close, her arm draped over the piano’s top as she watches the music over her companion’s shoulder.
Renoir sets the two figures against a warm, sunlit yellow wall streaked with blue and green, and dresses the seated girl’s chair with a loosely tied blue ribbon that echoes the cooler tones in the background. The paint is applied in soft, rounded strokes throughout, with the girls’ long loose hair, one auburn, one strawberry-blonde, rendered in flowing, ribbon-like brushwork.
Housed at the Musee de l’Orangerie, this beloved 1892 scene of two girls sharing a piano lesson is available as a wall art reproduction. This Young girls at the piano composition is offered as a museum-quality canvas print, made to order in a range of sizes and shipped worldwide.
