Rare photographic reproduction, 6.25 x 10.5, of one of Renoir’s paintings of a nude woman kneeling, signed in the lower border in black ink, “Renoir.” Lower border also bears a short statement, in French, which reads, “Seen in order to authenticate the signature of Pierre Auguste Renoir, painter, witnessed January 10, 1911,” and bearing an official rubber stamp as well. Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 12.75 x 17. In fine condition. The photograph was originally part of the archive of Renoir's art dealer, the great Ambrose Vollard. While we have seen several of these photographs signed, very few are of a human subject, making this portrait more desirable. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
