Painted in 1864, Romaine Lascaux (Portrait de Mademoiselle Romaine Lascaux) represents one of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s earliest paid portrait commissions. The Lascaux family, like Renoir’s own ancestry, hailed from Limoges. Young Pierre-Auguste captured the daughter of Monsieur Lascaux with exceptional sweetness and psychological warmth. Standing in three-quarter view, young Romaine wears a dark, tailored dress accented by a crisp lace collar and a red neckband, holding her hands gently in front of her. Demonstrating Renoir’s transition from strict French Realism to the luminous color harmonies of Impressionism, this canvas ($65 \times 81\text{ cm}$) showcases his uncanny ability to convey the soft innocence of childhood alongside classic European refinement.
