A statist plays Auguste Renoir for the BBC program Monitor, episode Father and Son. At Domaine des Collettes, the estate of the Renoir family. Cagnes-sur-Mer 1962.

At Domaine des Collettes, the Renoir family estate in Cagnes-sur-Mer, an actor portrays Auguste Renoir during the 1962 filming of the BBC program *Monitor*. Framed by the silhouette of an overhanging branch, the artist stands in a sunlit meadow beside a gnarled tree, focused on a canvas set upon an easel. The high-contrast lighting creates deep shadows in the foreground, juxtaposed with the brightly illuminated field of tall grass and lending a sense of peaceful solitude to the scene.
