Jim Horne notes:

One quibble: PIERRE RENOIR is an unusual choice. He was an actor (son of Auguste Renoir), but he's far less famous than his father — and the clue "Les baigneuses" actually refers to a painting by Auguste Renoir, not Pierre! This looks like a clue error: Pierre Renoir was an actor, not a painter. The constructor may have needed a "Pierre" famously enough to clue, but conflated the two Renoirs. That's a meaningful flaw.
