Description

Renoir certifies his painting of a mother and child

Fantastic matte-finish 5.75 x 7.25 photographic print of one of Renoir's paintings of a woman and child seated in a field, affixed to a 5.75 x 10 mount, signed in the lower border in ink, "Renoir." The lower border also bears official certification stamps in French signed by the mayor of Cagnes-sur-Mer to authenticate Renoir's signature, dated January 10, 1911. Handsomely double-matted and framed to an overall size of 11.5 x 16. In fine condition. The photograph was originally part of the archive of Renoir's art dealer, the great Ambrose Vollard. In order to avoid any future disputes regarding the authenticity of works by artists he represented, Vollard had all of the original paintings photographed, then asked the artist to sign each photo.
