The face as the only focus of clarity
The eyes, nostrils and mouth are indicated by some dark accents. Around them, the skin tones remain made of small colored variations which avoid any smooth academic modeling.

Claude Monet · child portrait · 1880 · W620
André Lauvray appears in bust on a gray-green background, his face turned towards the viewer and lit by roses, creams and small bluish shadows. Her long blond hair frames a discreet smile, while the purple garment remains treated with soft touches. Signed and dated 1880, this oil on canvas measuring 46.4 × 38.1 cm belongs to a private collection and corresponds to Wildenstein 620.

Look at the work
The framing cuts the model under the shoulders and focuses all the attention on the face. The curls go down on either side of the cheeks without continuous contour; they are made of browns, yellows and grays which gently stand out from the neutral background.
Monet reserves the warmest touches on the cheekbones and lips. The collar and garment combine gray, lilac and blue, then dissolve towards the bottom of the canvas; this more open finish reinforces the precise presence of the look and the smile.
Rare in a painter especially famous for his landscapes, this portrait retains a family proximity: André Lauvray was the younger brother of the painter Abel Lauvray, close to Monet.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The eyes, nostrils and mouth are indicated by some dark accents. Around them, the skin tones remain made of small colored variations which avoid any smooth academic modeling.
The curls are not drawn one by one. Touches of blonde, brown and pearl gray suggest their volume, length and the light that slides around the face.
Gray green does not describe any interior. It isolates the young model while allowing the contours of the clothing and hair to breathe.
Reference image
The single reference image measures 2,433 × 3,000 px in WebP; the source of 2,880 × 3,551 px has only been reduced, never enlarged.
Smiling relies on slight changes around the lips and cheeks. Too strong an expression would cause the intimacy of the pose to lose.
Cheeks should not become uniformly orange. Blue grays and creams are necessary to regain the delicate light of the original.
The purple and gray touches of the bust must remain visible. Their open character highlights the concentration of work on the head.
Documented benchmarks
The Portrait of André Lauvray is an oil on canvas signed and dated 1880, measuring 46.4 × 38.1 cm and listed as Wildenstein 620.
The relationship with the Lauvray family explains the familiar tone of the effigy. The painting remained for a long time among the descendants of Pierre Lauvray before entering the art market.
Monet mainly paints his close entourage when he approaches the figure. Here, the child is neither integrated into a garden nor reduced to a silhouette: he alone occupies the entire field.
The painting is presented as lot 428 of the Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale on November 13, 2018; it is now listed as a private collection.
