Gabrielle et Jean, an 1895โ1896 painting by
Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It depicts the artist's son,
Jean Renoir, as an infant, with his nanny
Gabrielle Renard. Renard (1878โ1959) moved to the Renoir household at the age of sixteen, shortly before Jean's birth, and remained with the family until after all three of the Renoir children were adults. Over the years, Renard developed a bond with Jean which lasted the remainder of her life, and she frequently served as a model for Pierre-Auguste.
