EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch by Leon-Augustin Lhermitte, titled "L'approvisionnement des Halles, esquisse pour l'Hôtel de Ville de Paris" (Market at Les Halles, Paris, Sketch for the Town Hall), dates back to the late 19th century. The painting, executed on canvas, captures the bustling atmosphere of a Parisian market at Les Halles, a popular neighborhood destination for locals and tourists alike. The scene unfolds indoors, within the walls of the Town Hall, where market porters and vendors have gathered to display their wares. The market porters, dressed in traditional blue smocks and red caps, are shown in the act of loading and unloading goods from baskets and crates, their faces etched with the physical demands of their labor. The market stalls, brimming with an array of fruits, vegetables, meats, and other provisions, are a testament to the richness and diversity of Parisian cuisine. The mural-like composition, with its earthy color palette and meticulous attention to detail, transports us back in time to a bygone era. The painting is a precious heritage art piece that offers a glimpse into the daily life of Parisians during the 19th century. The Petit Palais museum in Paris is fortunate to possess this masterpiece in its collection, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The painting's intriguing title suggests that it was originally intended as a proposal for a decorative mural or interior design project for the Town Hall. Regardless of its ultimate fate, Lhermitte's evocative sketch stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Parisian markets and the vibrant, colorful world they represent.
