Gabrielle with Open Blouse

"Gabrielle with Open Blouse" is a captivating oil on canvas painting by the renowned French Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The artwork features Gabrielle Renard, who was not only a cousin of Renoir's wife, Aline Charigot, but also served as the family's nanny beginning in 1894. Gabrielle became one of Renoir's favorite models, frequently appearing in his works.

After Renoir passed away in 1919, Gabrielle relocated to America, where she eventually married. This particular painting of her is part of the collection at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art. Unfortunately, it is not on public display due to the model's revealing attire. Despite this, "Gabrielle with Open Blouse" remains a significant piece that highlights Renoir's extraordinary talent and his unique connection with his subjects.
