Renoir painted several self portraits throughout has career as an artist, and famous works in this genre include Self Portrait in a White Hat and several works that are simply called Self Portrait.
Photographs of Renoir do exist, indeed, he lived in an era of intense experimentation with the still relatively new photographic medium. However, Renoir's self portraits convey something that the relatively stiff and formal photos that are generally available to us cannot: the warmth and vibrancy of his inner life. <Source : TheHistoryOfArt.org>
