"Esquisse Pour Oedipe Roi" (Sketch for Oedipus Rex) is a lesser-known work by the French Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created as a preparatory study for a larger composition. Renoir, born in 1841 and passing in 1919, was a prolific artist known for his vibrant light and saturated color, especially in his depictions of people in intimate and candid compositions. While Renoir is primarily celebrated for his contributions to Impressionism and his depictions of leisure activities and female beauty, his oeuvre also includes works inspired by classical themes and literature, such as "Esquisse Pour Oedipe Roi."

This particular sketch is an exploration of the tragic figure of Oedipus, a character from Greek mythology who unwittingly killed his father and married his mother, a story famously dramatized by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles. Renoir's interpretation of this classical subject matter is indicative of the 19th-century artistic interest in themes from antiquity, which were revisited by many artists during the period as part of the broader cultural movement known as Neoclassicism.

The sketch would have served as a preliminary work, allowing Renoir to organize the composition, experiment with form and lighting, and consider the emotional impact of the scene before committing to a final painting. However, the status of the larger work that this sketch was intended to precede is unclear, and it is unknown whether a completed version of "Oedipe Roi" by Renoir exists.

As a work of art, "Esquisse Pour Oedipe Roi" provides insight into Renoir's artistic process and his engagement with classical subject matter. The sketch may also reflect the influence of his contemporaries, who were exploring similar themes, and contributes to a broader understanding of the diversity of Renoir's artistic interests beyond his more famous Impressionist works.

The provenance, current location, and exhibition history of "Esquisse Pour Oedipe Roi" are not well-documented in public art historical records, and as such, further research would be necessary to provide a more complete picture of the work's significance and history.
