Description
Julie Manet, or Child with Cat (1887) French: L'enfant au chat, is a portrait in oils by Pierre August Renoir.
Berthe Morisot and her husband Eugène Manet, brother of the painter, had known Renoir for many years. Their relationship became much closer in the second half of the 1880s. The Manets' admiration for the painter's talent, and their friendship for the man, convinced them, in 1887, to commission a portrait of their daughter Julie.
The portrait is a magnificent example of Renoir's research at that time, especially for its refined finish and enamel-like surface. But the painting is also successful in the sensitivity and affection that the painter brings to his young model.
