Auguste Renoir - Jeanne Samary in a low necked dress 1877 Jeanne Samary was one of the most celebrated
actresses at the Comédie-Française when she first sat for Renoir in 1877 . Over the next three years, Renoir depicted
Samary in no fewer than eight oils and four pastels, more than any other single sitter. She has also been identified
as the model for the fashionable young woman in the top right corner of The luncheon of the boating party 1881(Le
déjeuner des canotiers 1881), one of Renoir's most ambitious multi-figure genre paintings. - art-Renoir.com
