Pierre-Auguste Renoir 1841-1919 French Gabrielle aux grenades (Gabrielle with pomegranates) Signed "Renoir" (upper left) Oil on canvas Pierre-Auguste Renoir is synonymous with Impressionist portraiture, known for his light and airy canvases that perfectly capture the beauty and warmth of subjects. Among his most cherished subjects are those closest to him, particularly Gabrielle Renard, his family’s nanny. Gabrielle is featured in some of Renoir’s most famous portraits, each rendering something new about her monumental presence in Renoir's life and artistic practice. This stunning portrait, entitled Gabrielle aux grenades, is one of the most detailed and compelling portraits of Gabrielle Renard to come to the market in recent years. As the nanny to Renoir’s children and the cousin of his wife, Aline, Gabrielle held a cherished place in Renoir's life and home. She played a crucial role in assisting the famed artist during his later years, positioning Renoir’s paintbrushes as he battled rheumatoid arthritis. This intimate portrait captures her gentle features in Renoir's iconic feathery style, epitomizing the essence of his celebrated oeuvre. From the quintessentially Renoir color palette to the delicate rendering of Gabrielle's eyes and the fruit before her, Renoir's affection for the subject is evident in this intimate work. Painted in 1915, this portrait stands as a testament to the artist's prolific career, created during its final chapter. Despite suffering from arthritis, Renoir nonetheless achieves a rich depth of color and meticulous level of detail indicative of his finest technique, making this portrait an exceptional rarity. Renoir’s portraits of Gabrielle are now displayed in major museums and prestigious private collections, including the Musée d’Orsay, the National Gallery in London, the Harvard Art Museums, the Musée de Grenoble and the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, which houses the largest collection of paintings by Renoir...

PIERRE-AUGUSTE RENOIR Le Chapeau Épinglé (2e planche). Color lithograph, 1898. 600x488 mm; 23 5/8x19 1/4 inches, full margins. Edition of 200. With the second printed signature in the stone, lower left. Printed by Auguste Clot, Paris. Published by Vollard, Paris. A very good impression of this important lithograph with strong colors. Renoir (1841-1919) was, along with Edgar Degas, Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, a founder of the Société Anonyme Coopérative des Artistes, Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs and a key organizer of the 1870s Impressionist exhibitions. He is best known for his renditions of the sensuous and monumental bathing nudes that he produced from the 1880s onward, many of which were inspired by the works of Titian, Rubens, and 18th-century French painters such as Boucher and Fragonard. Like many of his contemporaries, Renoir embraced printmaking as a medium that allowed for more freedom of expression and experimentation. Ambroise Vollard, the eminent Parisian dealer and publisher, and Auguste Clot, the famed lithography printer, were both extremely instrumental in Renoir's foray into printmaking. They greatly encouraged and facilitated his practice of the medium. Vollard met Renoir during the height of Renoir's career and saw the opportunity for lithography to help disseminate the artist's ever popular work, and Clot worked closely with Renoir to masterfully capture the delicate quality of his pastels in color lithography. Renoir began producing lithographs and etchings in the late 1880s and created an oeuvre over the following two decades consisting of 25 etchings and 29 lithographs, many of them commissioned for various albums or books. His most famous prints reproduce popular compositions he had established in earlier paintings. The current lot is based on an 1893 oil and pastel painting which represents the artist Berthe Morisot's daughter pinning a flower on her cousin's hat. The same subject was reproduced in a series of etchings by Renoir...

Pierre-Auguste Renoir brings his subjects to life in La Danse à la Campagne (Dance in the Country), 2e planche, c. 1890, so much so that you can almost imagine the music. The people depicted in this etching are Renoir’s brother Edmond and Suzanne Valadon. Using swift and careful lines, Renoir creates areas of dark and light that add incredible depth to the image. The lines are expressive of movement, and Renoir captures this lively moment in time. The woman’s dress sweeps up as she is spun around the dance floor by the gentleman. His own coat flairs out as they dance. These little moments of movement bring truth to the entire etching. Created circa 1890, this etching on wove paper is stamped with the signature of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Limoges, 1841- Cagnes-sur-Mer, 1919) in the lower right margin.
