The young woman reading an illustrated journal that we are observing here in this Pierre-Auguste Renoir painting is completely immersed and unaware of us.
The silence of her reading contrasts with the shock of her red hair which is exploited in a typical Impressionist style by French painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir. He painted this in France in 1880 when he was 39 years of age.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s Young Woman Reading an Illustrated Journal is in a private collection.
