An exceptional impressionistic depiction of Ballerinas in an interior scene by Jules René Hervé. Hervé is known as a painter of the scenes of Parisian life. This piece is a pertinent example, with details of the Parisian room with a grand chandelier, antique fixtures, a large rococo mirror, and gold leaf detailing on the carved walls. We are drawn to the elegant ballerinas dressed in sky blue and powder white effortlessly placed in this painting with whimsical and endearing details throughout. The Paris life captured on Hervé's work is the city of poetry, the “City of Lights”. By looking at each brushstroke, is like seeing through Herve's eyes this city of poetry in a mesmerizing impressionist manner. Signed lower left and on verso, comes displayed in an elegant antique giltwood frame with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
Condition: The painting is in very good condition with light wear from age, and it comes displayed in an original antique frame that shows ordinary wear from age and minor imperfections in line with the period (please see the listing pictures for details).
