Shortet No. 10

 Based on two diary entries made on July 2:

7/2/1907, Tuesday (Paris)

(Harry Kessler Diary)

Visited Renoir with Vollard this afternoon in Montmartre, rue Caulaincourt...Renoir sat on a rolling chair and painted a long, life-size blond nude, a replica of the nude at Gallimard’s. His black-haired model Gabrielle, in a loose yellow calico blouse, cleaned his brushes afterward. He had her bring out a nude of her, as she lay on the sofa with her mature, rather round form... 

7/2/1969

(Beatles Studio Diary)

Studio 2, Golden Slumbers. Paul lives close to the studio so he arrives before everyone else and works on Her Majesty. 

Extracted lyric:

Verse 1

Renoir sat on a rolling chair
And painted a life-size blond
A replica of the nude at Gallimard’s
His black-haired Gabrielle
In a loose calico blouse


Verse 2

Had her bring out a nude of her
A painted life-size blond
Paul lives close to the studio
He arrives before everyone else
His black-haired Gabrielle
In a loose calico blouse

Mapped to a melody, here for solo cello:
