Jean Renoir with the Bust of Madame Renoir, his mother. By Pierre Auguste Renoir. At Domaine des Collettes, the estate of the Renoir family. Cagnes-sur-Mer 1962.
Jean Renoir, in profile, contemplates a bronze bust of his mother, Madame Renoir, sculpted by his father, Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The filmmaker is pictured in a dark suit at Domaine des Collettes, the family estate in Cagnes-sur-Mer, in 1962. His hand rests on the wooden chest displaying the artwork, while a mirror in the background reflects the scene. The high-contrast lighting accentuates the glossy surface of the bust and the deep shadows of the composition.
