Fin de Siècle
Renoir, Auguste
Woman by a Vine (4). c. 1902. Lithograph on Arches Velin (with watermark). 23 x 17 cm (33 x 24.5 cm). Signed in stone and inscribed by another hand. Mounted in places on backing paper and beneath the passe-partout. – Partially with slight foxing; edges barely noticeably soiled; on the reverse, traces of previous mounting. Overall, very good condition. Excellent, chalky print.
Roger-Marx, No. 22. – A sheet from the twelve-part series ‘Femme au cep du vine’, in which Renoir depicts female nudes amongst the vines, using this motif to translate the figures and their natural surroundings into flowing, ornamental compositions. This second variation on the motif, shown here, depicts two female figures with sketch-like immediacy, wholly absorbed in their task amidst suggested vines. Renoir renders the figures with a few, confidently executed strokes that bear witness to his mastery of drawing.
