Bronzebüste von Renoir - Bronze bust of Renoir
modeled probably 1906 or 1907, cast probably ca. 1907
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Maillol modeled the bust of Auguste Renoir while the painter worked in his summer studio at Essoyes in the Champagne region of France. He portrayed Renoir as an old man, wearing his favorite hat, an old one of white cloth, whose face records the ravages of the pain of incurable arthritis. The first edition in bronze was made in 1907 for the Paris art dealer Ambroise Vollard.
