Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Lise with a Parasol
From $100
This wood is all deep greens with one white dress glowing in the middle, and a muddy copy swallows it. Our Renoir la promenade print was graded against a full-resolution photograph of the original, so the dress stays bright and the leaves keep their light.
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 and deep greens suit a hallway, a bedroom or a reading corner. They look lovely with white, sage and natural wood, and a natural or gold frame warms the woodland.
About the painting
La Promenade by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Outside Paris, 1870
Renoir was twenty-nine, living at Louveciennes with his mother. The summer before, he had painted side by side with Claude Monet on the Seine, and their new, lighter way of painting shows here.
Into the woods
A young man in a boater hat holds out his hand and leads a young woman in white along a path through the bushes. She is probably Lise Tréhot, Renoir’s favourite model of those years. Lovers in a wood is an old theme from Watteau and Fragonard, painted in the new light.
The summer before the war
That July France went to war with Prussia, and Renoir spent four months in the cavalry. Nobody knows what he called this picture: it got its name when it was sold in 1898. It belongs to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
Read the story
Nobody knows what Pierre-Auguste Renoir called this painting. And he didn't much care.
It's 1870. Renoir is twenty-nine, living outside Paris at Louveciennes, with his mother.
The summer before, he painted side by side with his friend Claude Monet on the Seine, and he's learning to fill his pictures with light.
Here, a young man in a straw boater holds out his hand and leads a young woman in a white dress along a path through the woods.
She's probably Lise Tréhot, his favourite model in those years. The bushes close in around them, all deep greens, and her dress glows in the middle.
It's an old idea, lovers in a wood, the kind of scene Watteau and Fragonard painted a hundred years before. But Renoir paints it in the new, bright way.
That July, France goes to war with Prussia. Renoir is called up, and spends four months in the cavalry.
The picture got its name, La Promenade, when it was sold, years later. Renoir disliked titles that other people gave his pictures. My joy is in painting, he said, not in some subject planned in advance.
Today it belongs to the Getty Museum, in Los Angeles.
Take his hand, and follow them into the woods.
La Promenade. Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1870.

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.
