EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch by Paul Leon Felix Schmitt, titled "Sketch for the salle des fêtes at the town hall of Asnières: shade under the trees" (Esquisse pour la salle des fetes de la mairie d'Asnieres : Paysage de sous-bois), was created around the turn of the 20th century, circa 1901. The work is a beautiful example of the artist's mastery of black ink and oil paint on canvas material. The scene depicts a charming indoor space, likely the salle des fêtes or banquet hall of the town hall of Asnières, a suburb located on the Seine River in France. The artist captures the serene ambiance of the room, with its high ceilings adorned with intricate wall paintings. The focus, however, is on the idyllic landscape outside, where the shade of trees provides a tranquil respite from the sun. The composition is filled with lush greenery, including tall trees with their branches reaching out, and vibrant foliage, creating a sense of depth and texture. The river Seine flows gently in the background, adding a sense of calm and tranquility to the scene. The artist's use of color and shade is exceptional, with the trees and plants rendered in rich greens, and the sunlight filtering through the leaves casting dappled shadows on the ground. This stunning sketch is a testament to Schmitt's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the beauty of nature, even in an indoor setting. It is a valuable addition to the collection of the Petit Palais in Paris, one of the city's most renowned museums, and a reminder of the artistic heritage of France in the early 20th century.
