Portrait of Edmond Renoir is a 1894 oil by Auguste Renoir, a Impressionism work, held at Denver Art Museum.
This painting depicts a young boy with long, blonde hair and a blue shirt. The background is a warm, brown color with visible brushstrokes. The boy's face is turned to the left, and his hair falls down his back in loose waves. His shirt is a soft, pale blue that complements the warm tones of the background. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this piece, you might want to look up Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born on 25 February 1841 in Limoges, the son of a tailor and a seamstress.
