Renoir depicts ambroise vollard as a connoisseur, examining a statuette of a kneeling female nude from aristide maillol. The theme echoes portraits of a collector from the italien renaissance. Vollard's features are somewhat idealised: he was a big, heavy man mocked for his bald head and bulbous nose. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: 1908.
