A long afternoon among friends above the Seine. A framed print of Luncheon of the Boating Party by Renoir, for hosts and art lovers, made in the USA by a family-owned shop. One size, 14"x11", wall hanger attached.
Friends laugh over wine and fruit beneath a striped awning in this framed print of Luncheon of the Boating Party, painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It brings the warmth of a shared meal to a dining room, kitchen, or breakfast nook, and it suits anyone who loves Impressionism, Paris, or good company around a table. It is a painting that invites conversation.
Renoir worked on the scene across 1880 and 1881, building it from the Sunday gatherings he enjoyed at the Maison Fournaise, a restaurant outside Paris. A woman cradles a small dog, men in straw boaters bend close to chat, and the river glints beyond the terrace railing. The original is held at the Phillips Collection, and it counts among the world's favorite Impressionist paintings, a scene where nearly every face tells its own story. Smiles, glances, and small gestures fill the terrace, so each person at the table has a story. Look for the striped awning, the white linens, and the small dog, details that keep the scene lively from close range or far away.
The print measures 14"x11", a wide horizontal format that reads clearly from across a room. A wall hanger is attached to the back, and a nail is not included. It works over a sideboard, along a hallway, or in a study or library, and it sits well beside other French art or botanical prints in a mixed gallery wall. It also looks right over a buffet, in a restaurant-style kitchen, or at the end of a long hallway. Its generous width makes it a natural partner for a dining table, banquette, or breakfast nook.
Pick Black, Barnwood, Charcoal, or Walnut for the polystyrene moulding. Barnwood and Walnut are finish names only, and the frame is not wood. Warmer finishes bring out the awning stripes and the golden afternoon light, while Black and Charcoal give the white linens a crisp edge. A clear acrylic front panel covers the paper print, and our family-owned shop in the USA prints and frames each one by hand. The panel in front of the print keeps the colors clear in a busy room. The finish you choose can echo your table, cabinets, or chairs.
Think of it for a housewarming, a wedding or anniversary, a retirement, or a collector who already owns a few Renoirs. Hosts who love long dinners will recognize themselves in it. It is also a friendly just-because gift for a sibling or friend whose kitchen wall is still empty. Cooks, hosts, and anyone who loves a long table will enjoy it.
