Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted numerous portraits of his son, Pierre, who was born in 1885, and in the late 1880s he was commissioned by the growing circle of collectors of Impressionist painting to create portraits of their children. The compactness of the figure is based on a type of portrait from the Italian Renaissance.
