About the piece

Painted in 1909 by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, this endearing portrait depicts his youngest son, Claude, famously known as 'Coco', dressed as a clown. The work is a quintessential example of Renoir's late style, where luminous color and soft, feather-like brushwork create a warm and approachable sense of character.
