Pierre-Auguste Renoir \u2013 Blonde Bather<\/h1>\n

\nThe nude sits turned three-quarters towards the viewer, with a slight smile and her gaze directed straight out of the picture. Long red-gold hair falls over her right shoulder, and a white cloth is spread across her lap, held with her left hand. A ring is visible on her finger. Behind her the sea opens out with a low rocky coast, in blues, greens and pinks.<\/p>\n

\nThe painting dates from 1881, the year of Renoir\u2019s journey to Italy. That journey began his turn towards firmer drawing and more smoothly modelled flesh, and it is already plain on this canvas: the body is rounded and pale, while the sea and coast behind are painted broadly and softly. The contrast between the finished figure and the loosened ground gives the painting its calm, almost sculptural presence.<\/p>\n

\nThe original measures 65.4 cm x 81.6 cm and is oil on canvas. It is held by the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown in the United States under inventory number 1955.609.<\/p>\n

\nOur version is a hand-painted oil reproduction on canvas. Every canvas is painted individually to order, so no two are exactly alike. It is available in eight upright sizes, from 65 x 80 cm to 140 x 170 cm. It is a painting in oils, not a print.<\/p>\n
