Facts About Gabrielle with Open Blouse
Gabrielle with Open Blouse is an oil on canvas painting by French impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It is in the collection of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, but is not on public view because of the model's open blouse.
Gabrielle was Gabrielle Renard, a cousin of Renoir's wife Aline Charigot. She became the family's nanny in 1894 and later modelled many times for Renoir before becoming his carer. Only after his death in 1919 did she marry and move to live in America.
