Maillol's portrait of his friend, the painter Auguste Renoir contrasts with the majority of the sculptor's oeuvre. He is known primarily for his depiction of female nudes in a formalized manner, which references classical Greek sculpture, much like his Leda on the opposite wall. The Head of Renoir, however, provides an intimate portrayal of the artist's friend.
