Description
This piece features a robed woman fixing her hair in her mirror. Pierre Renoir was a French painter originally associated with the Impressionist movement. His work is characterized by a richness of feeling and warmth of response to the world and to the people in it. Renoir was so passionate about painting that he even continued when he was old and suffering from severe arthritis. Renoir then painted with a brush tied to his wrists. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high-quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
