Renoir at His Easel - Live.

Here's an actual film of a frail-looking Renoir at his easel. His hands were so crippled with rheumatoid arthritis he couldn't open them to receive a paintbrush or a cigarette. I like how he notices the camera around 2:06.  You can catch a glimpse too on the right of the screen of a finished painting. Maybe he is working on his 1910 Self-Potrait.
