Victor Chocquet 1876

Pierre-Auguste Renoir's portrait of Victor Chocquet, painted in 1876, captures the sitter's thoughtful demeanor. The Impressionist painting depicts Chocquet, an art collector and advocate for Renoir, in a contemplative pose, his hand resting on his chin. Renoir's signature loose brushstrokes and vibrant color palette bring a sense of immediacy and life to the portrait, while the patterned background alludes to Chocquet's refined taste. This artwork is currently located at the Oskar Reinhart Foundation in Winterthur, Switzerland.
