Renoir presents his family in the garden of their residence in Paris. At center Renoir's wife, Aline Charigot Renoir, wears a colorful hat and blouse. Renoir's oldest son, Pierre, holds his mother's arm while Jean, the artist's second son, toddles in the foreground; Jean is gently supported by Gabrielle Renard, the family's nursemaid and one of Renoir's favorite models. The girl is probably a neighbor or friend. Renoir kept this painting his whole life; Dr. Barnes purchased it from one of the Renoir sons in 1927.
