Claude Renoir, la Tete Baisee

Renoir Pierre-Auguste

214314 Renoir, Pierre-Auguste Claude Renoir, la Tete Baisee c. 1904 D.,S. 39 7 1/2'' x 7 1/2'' Lithograph on vellum paper. Signed in the stone lower right. The second of two states with some retouching and the signature. From an edition of approximately 950 examples. (Aside from the edition 50 examples on Japon Ancien.) Printed by Auguste Clot, Paris. One of twelve lithographs from "Douze Lithographies Originales de Pierre-Auguste Renoir," an album commissioned and published by Ambroise Vollard in 1919. The lithographs were executed by Renoir in 1904-1905. This is a charming sketch of Renoir's third son, that recalls the small portrait of Claude at a table playing with cubes. Claude Renoir was the artist's youngest son. Pierre-Auguste Renoir often used his children as models and drew much inspiration from them. This lithograph of Claude is said (in "Les Lithographies de Renoir" by Claude Roger-Marx) to have possibly been inspired by either one of the many studies of him by the artist or by a painting "Portrait of Coco" (1900), as Claude was affectionately known to his family.
