About ‘Portrait of Mademoiselle Irène Cahen d'Anvers (Little Irene), Pierre-Auguste Renoir’
The portrait of Irène Cahen d'Anvers, of The Little Girl with the Blue Ribbon (French: La Petite Fille au ruban bleu) or Little Irène (French: La Petite Irène), is an oil painting by the French impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir .
Commissioned by the wealthy Franco-Jewish banker Louis Cahen d'Anvers in 1880, the painting shows his daughter Irène Cahen d'Anvers at the age of 8. During the Second World War the painting was stolen by the Nazis during their organised looting of European countries. In 1946 it surfaced again and was exhibited in Paris as one of the "French masterpieces found in Germany". In 2014 it appeared in the film The Monuments Men as one of the works of art saved by the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives program.
