クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted this portrait of his youngest son Claude circa 1905. Born in 1901 when the artist was sixty years old, Claude—lovingly nicknamed Coco—proved a source of great inspiration and joy for the artist in the autumn years of his life.⠀ .⠀ Renoir deeply cherished his third son, openly doting upon the boy and devoting hours of labor to capturing his cherubic likeness. He looked upon his infant son's health and growth as an affirmation of life; though Renoir was at the peak of his career, he had begun suffering from the ailments of old age.⠀ .⠀ In the present work, Renoir depicts Coco staring out intently, his bright blue eyes locked on the viewer. The rich range of warm hues depicting his hair and cheeks gives way to loose, quick brushstrokes in the background, creating a collapsed sense of space that heightens the illusion of proximity with the boy.⠀ .⠀ Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), 'Coco au ruban rose', circa 1905.
