Mother's Day Pick Irène Cahen D'anvers (little Irene), Renoir Family Size [UNdRygSK]

Portrait also known asIrène Cahen d'Anvers (Little Irene), was painted in 1880 by Pierre Auguste Renoir. This portrait and two others were commissioned by the girls' father, a well-known Jewish banker. Renoir had previously worked on portraits for Jewish families in Paris, however, Irene's father did not appreciate the work properly and paid very little for it. The painting itself demonstrates exquisiteness and delicacy in the composition, and enhances the innocence and femininity of the girl. The green background of the bush makes the main figure stand out with her white dress and reddish hair. The well-achieved tones of the white dress match the bluish color of the eyes and the hair ribbon. Fundación E.G. Bührle, Suiza.
