“Mother and child.” Jean Renoir is Renoir’s son.
From the edition of only 100 published in “L’Album des peintres-graveurs” by Ambroise Vollard (1896) during Renoir’s lifetime. The work has been verified by the gallery that sold the piece (Galerie Michael, Beverly Hills) as the work described on page 10 of Joseph G. Stella’s definitive reference book (catalog raisonné, Stella 10). This rare color edition is significantly more valuable than the common posthumous monochrome restrikes often found on the market. The piece features prestigious provenance from the Henri Petiet Collection (with his stamp on the reverse), a legendary print connoisseur whose mark adds significant value.
Delteil; Stella 10.
