Luncheon Boat Party - Renoir at Phillips Collection





Pierre-Auguste Renoir - Luncheon Boat Party
at Phillips Collection


Le déjeuner des canotiers: each character was identified; the woman playing with a doggie is Aline Charigot - she would become the wife of Renoir; the painter Gustave Caillebotte is sitting in front of her; the guy with a top hat is Charles Ephrussi, the editor of the Gazette des Beaux Arts; and so on... however one character identification remained unsolved: Maupasant or Renoir himself?
