Attributed to Pierre-Auguste Renoir: A 19th-Century Pastel Study

Americal Eclectic is honored to present this intimate pastel study by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, a leading luminary of the French Impressionist movement. The work captures a young woman in a hat—a quintessential Renoir motif—rendered with the soft, feathery strokes and luminous color palette that defined his “Rococo” influenced 1880s period. Pencil-signed by the artist, this 17.5″ x 13″ work serves as a window into the master’s private practice as a draftsman, where he explored the delicate interplay of light and human form.
