（２３９）ルノワール

イレーヌ・カーン・ダンヴェール嬢の肖像
Mlle. Irene Cahen d'Anvers

I went to the National Museum of Art, Osaka with my wife to see Renoir's paintings. We visited around the opening time, but it had been already very crowded. I saw real Renoir's paintings for the first time. Most of them were familiar to me but I didn't know real sizes of them. So some looked smaller and some looked really bigger than what I expected.

His pictures had been changing a lot along his life.  Mlle. Irene Cahen d'Anvers was drawn in 1880. The picture was 130 years old, but its clour was still vivid and beautiful. The explanation about this drawing read that Irene of the drawing was just 8 years of age.
