The Artist's Son Jean Drawing (Jean Renoir dessinant), 1901 by Pierre-Auguste Renoir

The Artist’s Son Jean Drawing, painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir in 1901, shows the painter's middle son bent over a sheet of paper, cheek resting on his hand in the quiet concentration of childhood. Rendered in warm rose, soft cream, and golden ochre tones with the velvety, fused brushwork of Renoir's mature figural manner, the portrait captures Jean Renoir, born in 1894 and later one of French cinema's great filmmakers, who was the subject of many of his father's tenderest late portraits. The work stands among the intimate domestic scenes that defined Renoir's later career.

Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919). Date: 1901.
