Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Woman with Fan (Femme à l'éventail), Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1886, Oil on canvas (later mounted to cradled panel), This painting is a good example of the drastic shift in Renoir's style during the mid-1880s. After several years of working in an impressionist mode defined by loose brushwork and broken forms, Renoir decided he had reached an impasse. He wanted to bring back the craftsmanship of the past—to emulate the stability and solid forms he saw in earlier painting traditions. In this portrait of a woman holding a fan, paint is smooth. Contours are unbroken and the composition is carefully designed. Impressionist spontaneity has given way to order and balance., Overall: 22 x 18 in. (55.9 x 45.7 cm).
