'Mlle Irene Cahen d'Anvers' was created in 1880 by Pierre-Auguste Renoir in Impressionism style

IrÃ¨ne was born in 1872 and lived in Paris, where she would live at least until she was married. Her father, a wealthy Jewish banker named Louis Raphael Cahen dâAnvers commissioned Pierre Auguste Renior for three portraits in 1880 one of each of his daughters.At that time, Renior had been doing portraits for many of the Jewish families in Paris, and the Cahen family was one of the richest there was. As such, Renoir did not negotiate a price before beginning his work. Upon completing the portrait of IrÃ¨ne, the Cahens decided that they did not like it, and told Renior to paint IrÃ¨neâs two younger sisters (Alice and Elisabeth) together.
