Violette Rigollet was a French artist's model active during the early 20th century. The term is not widely recognized as a subject of comprehensive biographical or historical study, and she is primarily referenced within the specialized context of late-Impressionist art history.
Rigollet is documented as having been a frequent model for the painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir during the final decade of his life (approximately 1910–1919). She was part of a small circle of models who frequented Renoir's estate, "Les Collettes," in Cagnes-sur-Mer. Her likeness appears in several of the artist's late works, which are characterized by a soft, sculptural style and a warm, Mediterranean color palette. Specific works attributed to her modeling sessions include Portrait of Violette Rigollet and various studies of female figures in domestic or pastoral settings.
Beyond her role as a model for Renoir, there is Insufficient Encyclopedic Information regarding her personal life. Primary biographical details, such as her dates of birth and death, her parentage, and her activities outside of her professional relationship with Renoir, remain largely undocumented in mainstream historical records and standard biographical dictionaries. She is not considered an established concept in general history or other academic fields outside of art cataloging.
