Description
Jeune femme et chat shows a young woman with loose auburn hair, seated with her shoulders bare above a white chemise slipping off one shoulder. She turns her head to look toward a tortoiseshell and white cat, which stands upright on its hind legs on a dark green pedestal beside her, reaching upward.
Behind them, a dark wooden cabinet and a spray of pink and white flowers fill the upper part of the canvas, with a white cloth draped over the furniture. Renoir renders the woman’s skin in smooth, warm tones while the cat’s fur and the surrounding foliage are built up with quick, broken brushstrokes.
Painted in 1882, this intimate interior scene is reproduced as a hand-painted oil on canvas or as an archival print, offered in a range of sizes to suit different walls.
