Bulrushes on the Banks of the Seine — Fine Art

Tall reeds and grasses rise along the water in Bulrushes on the Banks of the Seine. Pierre-Auguste Renoir paints the river bank with quick strokes of green, brown and pale sky. The picture stays close to the plants, with the water showing only as a thin band at the edge.

A fine art print set in a frame with a back panel gives you a ready to hang piece. The matte surface keeps the greens and browns even under indoor light, so the reeds do not look glossy or flat.

It works above a desk near the window, where daylight falls on the paper during the day. From the doorway you see the tall reeds against the pale sky, and from the chair you notice the loose brush marks on the leaves.
