Tête de jeune fille 1888

"Tête de jeune fille" (Head of a Young Girl) is an oil on canvas painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1888. The painting features a close-up portrait of a young girl, her head turned slightly to the right, her red hair pulled back in a ponytail with a white bow. The girl’s delicate features are rendered with soft, luminous brushstrokes, characteristic of Renoir's Impressionist style. The blue-green background complements the warmth of the girl’s skin tones, creating a visually harmonious composition. This charming portrait exemplifies Renoir's mastery of capturing the fleeting beauty of youth and the delicate nuances of human expression.
