Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919). A delicate sanguine and charcoal drawing on paper depicting a reclining female nude in profile, resting against a soft, draped background. The work utilizes fluid, rounded contours and subtle tonal shading to emphasize the supple form, a hallmark of the artist's late style. Signed "Renoir" in the lower right. Framed. Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a leading figure in the Impressionist movement, celebrated for his vibrant light and saturated color. In his later career, he shifted toward a more classical "Ingresque" style, focusing intensely on the female figure and nudes inspired by Renaissance and Baroque masters. His work from this period is characterized by soft, pearlescent skin tones and a sense of timeless, idyllic beauty. Dimensions: Unframed: 10 x 7 7/8 inches Provenance: Private collection.
