This portrait bears witness to that fraternal closeness between the two founders of the movement, at a crucial moment when they were struggling together to gain recognition for their new pictorial vision, still largely rejected by official criticism. The work belongs to a long tradition of portraits of artists by their fellow painters, in the image of those Édouard Manet also dedicated to Monet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonet is depicted in bust, slightly in three-quarter view, palette in hand and brush ready for use, in a pose that captures him in full creative activity. Wearing a dark beret and sporting a thick beard, he is dressed in a dark jacket that occupies most of the composition. On the left, a canvas in progress can be glimpsed, a landscape in which foliage rendered in vibrant brushstrokes can be made out, perhaps a work Monet was then painting. The window on the right lets in a milky light that gently illuminates the model's face, whose intense and focused gaze rests on a point beyond the frame. Renoir uses a sober palette here, dominated by browns, greens, and greys, contrasting with his usual festive scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/montblancgallery.co.uk\/collections\/auguste-renoir\"\u003ebuy another Auguste Renoir reproduction\u003c\/a\u003e?
