He spent weeks and sometimes months perfecting his paintings. Why not grace your home with this reproduced masterpiece? It is sure to bring many admirers! Victorian beauty and innocence come together in this magnum opus from Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Renoir applies his unique style to this painting, whose subject was the eight-year-old daughter of a Paris banker who commissioned the work. With rich details and color, Renoir paints a picture of the Victorian era seen through the eyes of Impressionism. Just like the original, this fine gallery reproduction is a study in contrast. Little Irene’s elegant clothes and hair belie her innocent childhood expression, and the precise detail of her facial features stand out against her bright, flowing red hair and background foliage. Unlike many Impressionists, Renoir had a lifelong interest in portraiture, and this masterpiece is sure to brighten up any room.
