About this work

Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919)
Year: 1876
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 100 × 73 cm
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC
Movement: Impressionism

A small girl in a blue dress with lace trim and a red bow in her hair stands on a garden path holding a green watering can and two daisies. Renoir painted it in 1876, the year he began to concentrate on the anecdotal pictures of women and children at which he excelled, and the setting is thought to be Monet's garden at Argenteuil. The palette is the fresh, high-keyed one of Impressionism, but the handling is more controlled than in his landscapes: small, even strokes applied delicately in the face, with the path, flowers and foliage dissolving into a haze of warm colour around her. The child has never been identified. The painting passed through the collections of Renoir's patron Paul Bérard and the prince de Wagram before Chester Dale bought it in 1931; it came to the National Gallery of Art in Washington with his bequest in 1963.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is A Girl with a Watering Can in the public domain?

Yes. Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by National Gallery of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was A Girl with a Watering Can painted, and in what medium?

A Girl with a Watering Can dates from 1876 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 100 × 73 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
