Description
This small, tender portrait shows a fair-haired child with wide blue eyes and a pink flush in the cheeks, looking out from beneath loose blond curls tied with a coral-pink bow. A ruffled white collar frames the face above a red garment, painted in soft, blended strokes that give the whole sketch a warm, intimate feel. Dated 1905 and held by the Museum Langmatt, the work is a close-up study of Renoir’s son Claude, known in the family as Coco, whom he painted often in these years. Its small scale, a few centimeters across, suits an informal, quickly worked portrait rather than a large exhibition piece.
This gentle portrait is reproduced here as a museum-quality wall-art print, available on canvas or fine-art paper in a range of sizes and finishes for your home.
