Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Lise with a Parasol
From $100
Renoir painted this small sketch in quick, loose touches, and a careless copy smears them into a green haze. Our Pierre Auguste Renoir Landscape at Vétheuil was graded beside the original so every stroke of grass and water stays crisp, and you can even see the weave of the little canvas.
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
18x12 inch, 24x16 inch, 30x20 inch, 36x24 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
It brings a soft summer light to a bedroom, a living room or a reading corner. The greens and blues sit well with white, sage and natural linen, and a natural wood frame keeps it gentle.
About the painting
Landscape at Vétheuil by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
About 1890
Renoir was nearly fifty. After years of hard, careful drawing, he was going back to soft, thin colour. In 1890 he married Aline, who had sat for his famous painting of a boating party. Around then he painted this view at Vétheuil, a village on the Seine downstream from Paris.
Smaller than a postcard
The original is tiny: about eleven by sixteen centimetres. In it, a blue river curls between trees, tall grass shines in the sun, and roofs sit on the far bank. He signed it at the bottom: renoir.
Impressionism
It belonged first to his dealer, Ambroise Vollard, and later to Captain Edward Molyneux in Paris. Ailsa Mellon Bruce bought it in 1955 and left it to the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1970.
Read the story
Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted this whole river afternoon on a canvas smaller than a postcard.
It's about 1890, and Renoir is nearly fifty.
He started out at thirteen, painting porcelain in a factory, and later painted out in the open air with his friend Monet.
Then, on a trip to Italy, he saw the old masters and decided he couldn't really draw at all. For years after that, he painted hard, careful outlines.
Now he's letting go again, back to soft colour and light touches. That year, he marries Aline, who had sat for his famous painting of friends at lunch on a boating terrace.
Here he is at Vétheuil, a village on the river Seine, downstream from Paris, with a canvas about the size of his hand.
A blue river curls between the trees, tall grass shines in the sun, and roofs sit quietly on the far bank.
Every stroke is quick. Up close, you can see the weave of the little canvas through the paint.
He signs it at the bottom with just his name, in small letters.
It passed from his dealer to one collector after another, and ended up in Washington, at the National Gallery of Art.
Hold it in your hand. Then stand back, and let it fill the wall.
Landscape at Vétheuil. Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1890.

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.
