Pierre-Auguste Renoir Cup Chocolate Femme prenant du chocolat
Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Cup of Chocolate (Femme prenant du chocolat), Pierre-Auguste Renoir, c. 1912, Oil on canvas, Figures sitting at cafe tables were a frequent subject for impressionist painters interested in the bustling public life of modern Paris. This canvas, however, does not quite fit into that category. Renoir painted it well after his impressionist years were over, when he was living in the rural countryside of southern France. The painting shows a casually dressed figure stirring a cup of hot chocolate; lost in reverie, slumping forward, she is conveys dreamy inwardness rather than public sociability. The model is Gabrielle Renard, who worked as a nursemaid for the Renoir family and often modeled for the artist; here she is probably posing in his studio. Notice how many colors make up the white tablecloth--purple, green, blue--and how Renoir uses soft, delicate brushstrokes to create the appearance of velvety flesh. Overall: 21 5/16 x 25 5/8 in. (54.1 x 65.1 cm)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Pierre-Auguste Renoir's masterpiece, "Cup of Chocolate (Femme prenant du chocolat)". Painted around 1912, long after his impressionist years, Renoir depicts a serene scene that deviates from the bustling Parisian life commonly portrayed by impressionist painters. Set in the tranquil countryside of southern France, this painting showcases a casually dressed figure engrossed in stirring her cup of hot chocolate. The focal point is Gabrielle Renard, who not only worked as a nursemaid for the Renoir family but also frequently posed as a model for the artist. In this particular piece, she exudes an air of dreamy introspection rather than public sociability. It is believed that she was posing in Renoir's studio during its creation. One cannot help but notice the intricate details within this artwork. The white tablecloth is composed of various colors such as purple, green, and blue - a testament to Renoir's masterful use of color. Soft and delicate brushstrokes bring forth an almost velvety texture to the subject's flesh. Measuring at 21 5/16 x 25 5/8 inches (54.1 x 65.1 cm), this print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate every nuance and stroke present in Renoir's work without commercial intent or affiliation with any specific company.
