Bust of a Young Woman with Flowered Ear 1898

"Bust of a Young Woman with Flowered Ear" is an oil on canvas painting by the famed French Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1898. This work features a young woman, her face turned to the side, with a single, delicate flower adorning her ear. Renoir's signature soft brushstrokes and light palette capture the sensuality of the subject, embodying the Impressionist movement's focus on capturing the fleeting beauty of everyday life. While Renoir's paintings often depict social gatherings and outdoor scenes, this intimate portrait provides a unique glimpse into the artist's exploration of beauty and femininity.
