Lucien Boulier
Auguste Renoir"s last student: portrait of Renoir"s son painting

circa 1910

About the Item

If something about this painting seems familiar, it is for good reason! Dating from circa 1905-10, it is a work by Lucien Boulier (1882-1963), who was effectively Renoir's last student. Depicted here is Renoir's youngest son, Claude (nicknamed "Coco"). Boulier had studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he won a first prize medal before withdrawing to study on his own at the Louvre. He was particularly attracted to the work of the Impressionists, especially the work of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, with whom he went on to study privately. Boulier's work was shown in a number of exhibitions during the 1920s, most notably at Galerie Charpentier in Paris in 1923; and at Wildenstein Gallery in New York in 1924. The work presented here is an oil on canvas relined, size of canvas alone 31 x 21 cm. It bears the Lucien Boulier estate sale stamp at the lower right, and hence comes directly from the artist's studio. Boulier's studio was dispersed in 1963.

    An impressive and masterful depiction of a young woman with a fan. An American artist who studied and traveled in Europe and painted this painting before his return. It has its original frame which is magnificent. The frame has been regilded in th past 10 years. Vinton was abroad in the 1880s. The sitter gazes coyly over her fan in a gesture that ladies and gentleman of fin-de-siècle Europe would have understood to mean “wait for me,” and perhaps indicating her interest in a potential suitor. Vinton embarked on several trips to Europe—to Spain in 1882 with William Merritt Chase and Robert Blum, and to several different countries in 1888 following his marriage—which provided inspiration for a renewed style and subject matter. While in Spain with Chase and Blum, the three artists visited Madrid and Toledo; there, Vinton studied the masterfully tenebrous portraits of Velázquez, an influence that can be seen in Portrait with Yellow Shawl...
