To tell if a painting is a Renoir, familiarize yourself with the artist’s signature by looking at examples on trusted online resources. Renoir did sign many of his works, often in an upper or lower corner. For unsigned works, it is necessary to look for the signature characteristics of the French Impressionist’s work. Among these are feathered or broken brush strokes, the use of vivid colors and his tendency to depict subjects engaging in leisure activities, often in outdoor settings. Because there are many convincing reproductions of Renoir's work, experts recommend consulting a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer when trying to authenticate a work that is potentially by the artist.
