Claude Renoir ("Coco")

Auguste Renoir and Richard Guino, c. 1908

The sculpture is a bust of a young girl, capturing her upper torso and head. The girl has short hair with bangs across her forehead. The sculpture appears to be made of bronze with a dark metallic hue and hints of greenish patina. It rests on a square black plinth. The girl’s facial features are softly rendered, with closed lips and subtly defined eyes. The sculpture has a textured surface.
