Pierre-Auguste Renoir 'The Rowers' Lunch' (Luncheon of the Boating Party) Art Exhibition Poster

This item is a commercially produced art exhibition poster or decorative print featuring a detail from Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s famous 1881 Impressionist oil painting, 'Luncheon of the Boating Party' (Le Déjeuner des canotiers). The print focuses specifically on three figures: Gustave Caillebotte (seated right in a white boater's vest), Ellen André (seated across from him), and an unidentified man to the far left. The color palette consists of soft blues, whites, and dappled pinks, characteristic of the Impressionist style. The poster features a prominent white border at the bottom with the artist's name 'RENOIR' in large, spaced-out serif typography, followed by the specific title 'THE ROWERS' LUNCH' beneath it in a smaller font. The piece is housed in a contemporary, thin-profile black metal or plastic frame with a polished metallic edge, typical of gallery-style framing from the late 20th century. The print quality suggests a mass-market offset lithograph rather than a fine art limited edition. The condition appears fair, with the paper showing slight rippling or 'cockling' behind the glass—likely due to humidity or lack of proper mounting. There is a lack of high-end matting, as the poster edge meets the frame directly. This likely dates from the 1980s or 1990s, when such museum-store posters were highly popular for residential decor.
