Maternity: Madame Renoir and Son

Auguste Renoir and Richard Guino

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a seated woman holding a small child in her lap. The woman is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and long dress. The child wears a short-sleeved dress and a bonnet. The child appears to be breastfeeding and is turned away from us. The woman looks outward, with a neutral expression. Her feet are resting on an uneven surface, and one of them is higher than the other. The sculpture is made of a brown, textured material.
