Portrait of Auguste Renoir
Aristide Maillol French
Not on view
Maillol modeled the bust of Auguste Renoir while the painter worked in his summer studio at Essoyes in the Champagne region of France. He portrayed Renoir as an old man, wearing his favorite hat, an old one of white cloth, whose face records the ravages of the pain of incurable arthritis. The first edition in bronze was made in 1907 for the Paris art dealer Ambroise Vollard.
