EDITORS COMMENTS
Delicately poised and charmingly adorned with a vibrant floral bouquet in her dressing room at the Comedie-Francaise, this enigmatic woman is captured in all her elegance by French Impressionist master Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The subject of Woman With A Fan (c1879) may be none other than actress Jeanne Samary, whose cheerfully decorated space reflects a fascination with Japanese culture that was sweeping through late 19th-century France.
As she holds an uchiwa fan in her hand, the woman's gaze seems to drift away from us, lost in thought or perhaps contemplating her next performance. The soft focus and gentle brushstrokes of Renoir's oil on canvas painting create a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation, drawing us into this private moment.
The vibrant colors and playful floral pattern that adorn the room serve as a backdrop for the woman's understated yet captivating presence. This exquisite print is not only a testament to Renoir's skillful rendering of light and color but also an intriguing glimpse into the world of French theater in the late 19th century.
