Specialist note

Delphin Enjolras studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris. He soon realised that he excelled at painting female figures in calm, contemporary affluent interiors, imbued with a soft light. In the present lot his characteristic muted lighting is balanced between the warm lamplight of the terrace in the foreground and the dusk which falls in the surrounding landscape.
