Pierre-Auguste Renoir Portrait Jeanne Durand-Ruel
Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Portrait of Jeanne Durand-Ruel (Portrait de Mlle. J.), Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1876, Oil on canvas, During the early decades of his career, Pierre-Auguste Renoir supported himself doing portrait commissions. This little girl is the daughter of Paul Durand-Ruel. Jeanne is presented here at age six, wearing a fashionable striped dress and a gold cross around her neck. The painting is a good example of the way Renoir seemed to embrace the traditions of painting while also pushing against them: the colors are experimental and modern--note the sweeps of purple in the girls hair--while the overall format recalls the conventions of seventeenth-century court portraiture. Overall: 44 7/8 x 29 1/8 in. (114 x 74 cm)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pierre-Auguste Renoir's masterpiece, "Portrait of Jeanne Durand-Ruel". Painted in 1876 during the early years of Renoir's career, this portrait exemplifies his talent for capturing the essence and beauty of his subjects. The young girl depicted here is none other than Jeanne Durand-Ruel, daughter of Paul Durand-Ruel. At just six years old, Jeanne radiates innocence and charm as she poses elegantly in a fashionable striped dress. A delicate gold cross adorns her neck, adding a touch of grace to her youthful appearance. Renoir's brushstrokes reveal his experimental nature as he incorporates vibrant colors into the painting. One cannot help but notice the mesmerizing sweeps of purple that adorn Jeanne's hair, infusing a modern twist into an otherwise traditional composition. Despite embracing elements from seventeenth-century court portraiture conventions, Renoir manages to push boundaries with his innovative approach. This juxtaposition between tradition and experimentation creates a harmonious blend that captivates viewers even today. Measuring at 44 7/8 x 29 1/8 inches (114 x 74 cm), this remarkable piece captures not only the likeness but also the spirit of young Jeanne Durand-Ruel. It serves as a testament to Renoir's skillful portrayal and solidifies his reputation as one of history's most celebrated artists.
