Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919).

 This piece of art is the last work created by Renoir in 1918, the year

The bronze sculptures were cast with the collaboration of the Renoir
family - the executors of his estate. The works are not reproductions but

of only 99 pieces. This bronze is the last piece of the museum edition
available; it is 29 1/4 inches x 17 1/2 inches x 2 1/2 inches unframed. It

 The artwork is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity of course. In
fact a whole casebound portfolio is included with the artwork; including a
volume with the certificate and a photograph of the artist circa 1918.
Also included are reproductions of some of his letters, a 12 page booklet
with technical aspects and specifications, and a monograph on buying art
(written by the publisher).
