Child With A Bird (Mademoiselle Fleury In Algerian Costume), 1882. Creator: Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Child With A Bird (Mademoiselle Fleury In Algerian Costume), 1882. The sitter, Mademoiselle Fleury, was probably French, but she is shown wearing what the artist described as an "Algerian costume." While her dress and the setting are meant to evoke North Africa, the theme of young women holding birds was popular in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European paintings

EDITORS COMMENTS
**Child with a Bird (Mademoiselle Fleury in Algerian Costume), 1882**
This exquisite print captures the tender moment between Mademoiselle Fleury, likely French, and her feathered companion. The artist's brushstrokes bring to life the vibrant colors of North Africa as depicted through an "Algerian costume" worn by the young woman. This theme of children interacting with birds was a popular motif in 18th-19th century European art.
In this stunning oil on canvas piece, Renoir masterfully captures Mademoiselle Fleury's direct gaze and gentle touch as she cradles her bird perched upon her finger. The rich colors and textures evoke the warmth of North African culture, while the sitter's elegant attire adds a sense of sophistication to the scene.
This print is not only a testament to Renoir's skillful brushwork but also an intriguing glimpse into French artistry during the late 19th century. As part of Heritage Images' collection, this piece offers a unique opportunity for art enthusiasts and historians alike to appreciate the beauty and cultural significance of Child with a Bird (Mademoiselle Fleury in Algerian Costume), 1882.
