The inscription in the upper left corner of this portrait reads " au peintre Lucas " (to the painter Lucas). Renoir's friend and fellow artist Félix Hippolyte-Lucas was trained in the French academic tradition and was best known for his vibrant portraits and figure paintings of women. He also executed murals for the Casino de Monte-Carlo and for the Paris Stock Exchange. In 1919, the year after this portrait was completed and a few months before Renoir's death, Lucas reciprocated by painting Renoir.
