...portrait of Mme. Henriot (opposite) are sonorous indeed, make a rich foil for her pale flesh and paler costume. He used to say that all he asked of a model was "a skin that takes the light," but the portrait shows that Renoir could rise to and convey beauties of personality as well as those of flesh alone. His bronze study of Mme. Renoir nursing their son (right) goes beyond flesh and personality alike to celebrate an ever-recurring and ever-moving relationship...
