We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.

We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.

High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Pierre-Auguste Renoir also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 8-9 weeks to complete the process.

In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.

TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.

We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.

You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.

Once the painting The Daughters of Paul Durand-Ruel is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s "The Daughters of Paul Durand-Ruel" (1882) feels like a whisper of sunlight caught on canvas. The composition immediately brings you into a lush garden where the air seems soft and the world momentarily slows. Renoir captures two young girls, seated side by side, enveloped in the tranquility of nature. Their dresses, white but far from stark, ripple with subtle hints of color - blues, pinks, and purples dance in the fabric, creating a sense of movement even in their stillness. Renoir's mastery of light gives the impression of sunlight filtering through trees, reflected on their delicate garments.

The girls' faces, softly modeled with warm flesh tones, gaze toward the viewer with an almost timeless serenity. The older sister, seated to the left, wears a wide-brimmed straw hat adorned with a red ribbon and a flower - its colors a vibrant counterpoint to the cooler tones in the foliage behind her. Her posture is casual yet poised, her gloved hand resting in her lap while she holds a small bouquet of flowers. Her younger sister, more relaxed in her pose, leans gently toward her, the long braid of her hair echoing the loose, organic curves of the garden surrounding them.

Renoir's technique here is quintessentially Impressionist. His quick, fluid brushstrokes capture not just the details but the very essence of the moment. The garden, rendered in shades of green and blue, pulses with life but never detracts from the sisters at the heart of the piece. Their interaction with the landscape is seamless - they belong to it, just as much as the flowers and the trees.

The scene is a celebration of light and color, a delicate balance between natural beauty and human warmth. Every stroke feels as if it is part of a larger rhythm, and in that rhythm, Renoir captures the fleeting yet eternal bond between the two girls. It’s not just a portrait, but a quiet symphony of light, life, and tenderness.
