The back of the painting has this little blurb...
"Henri Renard: Born in Paris, 1920. His talent manifested itself while still in elementary school. It was already then and there that he felt his vocation was to become an artist. After elaborate art schooling, he moved into the circl of the Montmartre impressionists and stayed with them ever since. He developed a style of his own over the years which is very forceful and met with a wide reception in the art world."
