Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Lise with a Parasol
From $100
Renoir painted her hair in soft, glowing strokes against cool green leaves, and a dull copy turns it flat and brown. Our Renoir Little Irène print was graded beside the original so her hair keeps its glow, her skin stays delicate and the blue ribbon stays bright.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
16x20 inch, 24x30 inch, 32x40 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its upright shape suits a bedroom, a girl’s room or a quiet reading corner. The red-gold and soft greens look lovely with cream, blush and warm wood, and a gold or white frame suits it.
About the painting
Portrait of Irène Cahen d’Anvers (Little Irène) by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Paris, 1880
In 1880 the banker Louis Cahen d’Anvers, from one of the wealthiest banking families in Paris, asked Pierre-Auguste Renoir to paint his daughters. Irène, the eldest, was eight. Her younger sisters were painted next, in a picture now called Pink and Blue.
Hung with the servants
Today it is counted among Renoir’s masterpieces. But her father disliked it so much that he hung it in the servants’ quarters and was slow to pay the 1,500 francs. It was first shown in 1883, at Renoir’s first exhibition of his own work.
A long journey
During the Second World War the painting was looted from France. In 1946 it reappeared in Paris among the French masterpieces found in Germany. It now belongs to the Foundation E. G. Bührle Collection in Zürich.
Read the story
Today this is one of Renoir's most loved portraits. Her father hated it.
In 1880 the banker Louis Cahen d'Anvers, from one of the wealthiest banking families in Paris, asked Renoir to paint his daughters.
Irène, the eldest, was eight.
Renoir painted her in profile, her long red-gold hair falling down her back, against soft green leaves, with a blue ribbon in her hair.
But her father disliked it so much that he hung it in the servants' quarters, and he was slow to pay the fifteen hundred francs.
It was first shown in 1883, at Renoir's first exhibition of his own work.
During the Second World War the Nazis looted it, and it passed through the collection of Hermann Göring. In 1946 it reappeared in Paris, among the French masterpieces found in Germany.
Today it belongs to the Bührle collection, in Zürich.
Look at her hair, and then find the blue ribbon.
Little Irène. Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1880.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
