Claude Renoir ("Coco")

Auguste Renoir and Richard Guino

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts the bust of a young child with a full head of hair. Their facial features are simply rendered, with a subtle expression. The color of the sculpture is a dark, slightly glossy finish. The sculpture is mounted on a square pedestal base and is oriented in a direct, frontal manner. The combination of the smooth surface of the face against the detailed hair creates a realistic representation in three-dimensional space.
