This lot consists of a small framed oil painting on board, done in the painterly, Impressionist style of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919). This beautifully detailed image depicts a young girl staring directly at the viewer. Possibly a study for a larger painting. A handwritten inscription at top left reads, "Renoir". Brass plate at bottom edge of frame reads, "Portrait of a Young Girl. A. Renoir." Approximate dimensions are 13.5" x 9.5". A fine highlight to any collector's gallery.

Reverse side of piece features a number of affixed paper labels.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born February 25, 1841 in Limoges, France. He was a leading member of the Impressionists. His work is characterized by a richness of feeling and a warm response to the world we live in.
