Renoir is best known as a painter, but he also produced sculpture from 1907, following an inspirational visit from Aristide Maillol (1861–1944) and as a means to alleviate his rheumatism. Renoir frequently used his children as models. This head portrays his third and youngest son, Claude, known as ‘Coco’, born in 1901 when Renoir was sixty.
