More about this artwork

This painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, titled "Alphonsine Fournaise," depicts a young woman seated comfortably against a lush, impressionistically rendered backdrop. Painted in 1879, the artwork showcases Renoir's signature style, focusing on light, vibrant strokes, and a joyful expression of everyday life.Alphonsine, donning a light greyish-blue dress and a striking red hat, rests her elbow on a wooden railing, her posture relaxed yet engaging. Her face, lit with a soft light that highlights her cheeks and the gentle curve of her smile, conveys a friendly, inviting demeanor. She holds her face in a thoughtful pose, fingers gingerly touching her cheek, which adds a personal, intimate touch to the portrayal. The slight tilt of her head and her direct gaze create a sense of connection with the viewer.In the background, blurred yet harmonious, you can notice a bridge and some hints of a river landscape, suggesting the setting might be outdoors, likely along the banks of the Seine near Chatou, France — an area favored by Renoir and known for the popular Restaurant Fournaise.
