Description
Renoir, Pierre-Auguste (1841-1919), L'enfant au biscuit (Child with Cookie) - Jean Renoir, Original Color Lithograph, Rare Trial ProofARTIST: Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919)TITLE: L'enfant au biscuit (Child with Cookie) - Jean Renoir, c. 1898-9MEDIUM: Original color lithograph printed in five colorsIMAGE SIZE: 12 ½" x 10 5/8" (32cm x 27cm)FRAMED SIZE: 27 ¼" x 25" (69.23cm x 63.5cm) EDITION: From the rare trial proof in five colors printed by Auguste Clot with blue added to the eyes and white added to the face and background.CONDITION: Good condition, with bright, vibrant color throughout. DISCUSSION: An intimate portrait of his second son, Jean Renoir (1894 - 1979), evokes a childlike sentiment and love that Renoir had for his children. Most likely no more than age 3, Jean is shown here with a cookie, beneath a frilly bonnet characteristic of late 19th century French society. His pink, rosy cheeks are defined with rich, glowing hues that contrast from the pale yellow and grey background in which he rests. Jean was also featured in a family portrait of the Renoirs, titled La Famille de l'Artiste (1896). Created in c. 1898-9, this work comes from the rare, unsigned trial proof (aside from an edition of 100) in five colors: black, gray, green, rose, and yellow. Printed on laid paper by August Clot, he is thought to have added the blue to the eyes and the white to the face and background, making this print considerably rare.
