This rare sculpture, Medallion de Coco, modeled after his son Claude (nicknamed Coco), was sculpted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir in beeswax, then cast in plaster and signed in the cast. The original plaster cast was held by Renoir in his home in Cagnes, France, now the Renoir Museum. This sculpture and the Bust of Coco are the only works that Renoir executed entirely with his own hands. Upon completion of the edition, all molds from the original were destroyed. This sculpture is Museum Edition #51/75 made of 99.9% silver. Its framed dimensions are 24 1/8" x 24 1/8" x 2 3/4". A Certificate of Authenticity with the original signature of Madame Louise Renoir is provided. A featured article in "Art Times" dated November 1989, as well as a writeup on its historical background, will also be sent to the buyer.
