Bather with a Griffon \u2013 Salon drawing of the figure and freely painted foliage on one canvas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/table>\n

Bather with a Griffon Dog is an oil painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, made in 1870. The original measures 115.0 cm x 183.5 cm, is recorded under inventory number MASP.00095 and is held by the Museu de Arte de S\u00e3o Paulo (MASP) in Brazil. Our canvas wall art Bather with a Griffon Dog is painted by hand in oils, in eight upright sizes from 58 x 90 to 130 x 200 cm.<\/p>\n

The white chemise and the little dog<\/h3>\n

The nude figure stands at the centre of the canvas on a grassy bank, her body turned towards the viewer and her eyes lowered. In her right hand she holds a white chemise with a red ribbon, falling across a heap of linen. At the lower left a small black-and-tan griffon lies on striped cloth; behind her to the right a clothed woman rests in the grass. To the left, between willow branches, the view opens onto water and low hills.<\/p>\n

Why hand-painted, not a print<\/h3>\n

Our version is not a print. The canvas dates from 1870 and carries two quite different degrees of finish: the figure is built with firm, almost academic drawing of the kind the Salon then demanded, while the foliage and fabrics around her are painted far more freely. A painting made by hand can follow both \u2013 the exact edge of the body and the quick stroke behind it \u2013 where print brings the two applications onto the same plane.<\/p>\n

In the room<\/h3>\n

The format is upright and tall, so the canvas belongs on a narrow wall where height is no obstacle: between windows, beside a door, on a staircase or in an entrance hall. An upright subject also tolerates less distance than a horizontal one, because the eye reads it from top to bottom rather than across. The pale flesh and the white chemise ask for a quiet wall; against patterned wallpaper the outline of the figure is lost. For an ordinary room we recommend 80 x 130 cm, for a tall wall 110 x 170 cm, and in a narrower hallway 70 x 110 cm.<\/p>\n

What you receive<\/h3>\n

We paint the canvas to order, by hand and for you alone, so every copy is made on its own; the canvas is usually painted and dried within three to four weeks. If you prefer, we will paint it in a size that is not on the list. Before despatch we send you a photograph of the finished canvas for your approval, and only then does the painting go out. Bather with a Griffon Dog arrives stretched on a wooden frame and ready to hang, wrapped in protective film and in rigid packaging, with no further stretching or finishing needed.<\/p>\n
