“Renée” Early Self-Portrait

Description

Both my brother and I believe that this a very early self-portrait of our beloved Mama in oils on canvas.  It hung on our walls as very small children. Being so glamourous and attractive as she was, we could not see her any other way, than how she has painted herself . We absolutely no idea who owns this painting now. Renée was absolutely amazing at giving the likeness when painting a portrait.  What was also awesome, was that no person every sat live for her.  She painted all her portraits from photos.  She almost always painted portraits in oils. Oils was her preferred medium. As is mine! Go Mama!
