Description
A young child with reddish-blond hair sits with arms folded in the lap, wearing a white dress crossed with a coral-rust sash at the shoulders. The gaze drifts to the side rather than meeting the viewer, and a loosely brushed green background surrounds the small, seated figure.
Painted in 1904 and held by the Barnes Foundation, the canvas (55 by 46.3 cm) portrays Renoir’s son Claude, known in the family as Coco, then a small child. The print keeps the coral sash warm against the surrounding green, so it reads as a deliberate accent rather than blending into the white dress around it.
