PIERRE AUGUSTE RENOIR
(Limoges 1841–1919 Cagnes-sur-Mer)
Gabrielle et Jean Renoir. 1896
Oil on canvas.
Signed upper left: Renoir.
17.5 × 16 cm.
We would like to thank the Wildenstein-Plattner Institute for confirming the authenticity of the work, New York, 14.10.2022.
Provenance:
- Ambroise Vollard, 1907.
- Paul et Marguerite Tissier collection, Paris, by descent from the father.
- Swiss private collection, by descent from the above in 1991.
Literature:
- Guy-Patrice und Michel Dauberville: Renoir. Catalogue raisonné des tableaux, pastels, dessins et aquarelles, Paris 2010, vol. III, p. 203, no. 2055 (with ill.).
- Ambroise Vollard: Tableaux, pastels et dessins de Pierre Auguste Renoir (revised edition, original 1918), San Francisco 1989, p. 219, no. 942 (with ill.).
In 1895/96 Renoir devoted himself to a series of paintings showing his son Jean Renoir together with the maid Gabrielle. Mostly the boy plays with figures or other objects. In addition to a few smaller, less elaborate studies that show only the child's head, for example, there are pastels on the subject as well as a handful of oil paintings, one of which is now in the Orangerie in Paris. One version in oil shows little Jean reaching for an orange. Our work is the preliminary study for that work. The present study, though small, is exceptionally beautiful in its elaboration and use of color.
