Painted in 1910 when Pierre-Auguste Renoir was sixty-nine years old, Self-Portrait with a White Hat (Autoportrait au chapeau blanc) offers a rare and moving look at the Impressionist master in the twilight of his life. Settled at Les Collettes in Cagnes-sur-Mer in the South of France, Renoir continued to paint with unwavering passion despite severe rheumatoid arthritis. In this self-portrait, he presents himself with quiet dignity, wearing a soft white hat that casts a warm shadow across his experienced face. Departed from the flickering cool tones of his 1870s youth, Renoir’s late style is defined by a glowing palette of terracottas, warm ambers, and crimson hues delivered with fluid, lyrical brushstrokes. This masterpiece stands as a profound testament to artistic resilience and a lifetime spent celebrating light, warmth, and beauty.
