What you are looking at
The Painter Le Coeur Hunting in the Forest of Fontainebleau is drawn before it is coloured. The animal is not sentimentalised — it is drawn, and the drawing is what makes it convincing.
The Painter Le Coeur Hunting in the Forest of Fontainebleau. In our studio the thing that matters is how Pierre-Auguste Renoir actually works: Renoir keeps his shadows warm and full of colour, and lets edges melt into each other rather than closing them.
Why this one has to be painted by hand
Animals need drawing, and a print only reproduces the outline. Hand-painted, the bone structure and the direction of the coat are put back in, which is what makes it read as alive.

Questions people ask before ordering
What size should I order for The Painter Le Coeur Hunting in the Forest of Fontainebleau?
Any size you like, because the painter works freehand on a blank canvas. Most collectors choose something between 24 x 20 in and 40 x 30 in for this composition. If your wall needs something else, say so and we quote it.
Is The Painter Le Coeur Hunting in the Forest of Fontainebleau in the public domain?
Pierre-Auguste Renoir died in 1919, which puts this work in the public domain — commissioning a hand-painted reproduction is legal, and owning one is legal anywhere in the world. We never pass ours off as the original and never issue certificates of authenticity.
How long does a hand-painted version take?
Roughly two to four weeks of studio time depending mostly on size and how much impasto the surface carries, then several more days for the oil to set before we can photograph and pack it. We send photographs of your actual painting for approval before anything ships.
How close will it be to the original?
It is painted by hand from the same image you are looking at, so it is a painting of the painting, not a scan. Expect the composition, colour and drawing to follow the original closely, and expect the brushwork to be our painter's own — that is the point of commissioning one. You approve photographs before it ships.
