Description
Jeune femme tenant un bouquet de tulipes shows a young woman seen from behind and in profile, her long auburn hair falling loose down her back beneath a large black hat trimmed with feathers and a dark bow. She wears a grey-blue jacket with a small collar, and in her lowered hand she holds a bouquet of white, yellow and orange-red flowers.
The background is painted as a loose field of yellow, cream and blue brushstrokes, without any fixed setting, keeping the focus on the woman’s hair, hat and the bright bouquet at the edge of the canvas. Renoir’s brushwork is soft and blended on her face and neck, looser and more textured in the hat and hair.
This portrait is reproduced as a hand-painted oil on canvas or as an archival print, offered in a range of sizes to suit different walls.
