Behind the artwork

In his later years, Renoir gradually turned toward a more volumetric representation of figures. This 1905 oil painting shows a woman with raised arms, her body and headscarf forming a full curve. The museum suggests it may have been inspired by Delacroix's figures; the soft brushwork does not diminish weight, but rather makes the skin tone appear substantial through the interplay of warm and cool tones.

A Moment by the Ear

The champagne gold thin edge gently echoes the earring, the beige matting connects to the skin tone, and the warm gray wall makes the shape formed by the blue-green headscarf and arms more distinct.
