Georges Saint-Lanne (active late 19th century) Outdoor garrison scene – Soldiers meeting Title: Soldiers meeting under a flowering tree Artist: Georges Saint-Lanne Technique: Oil on canvas Period: Late 19th century School: French Signature: Signed lower right Frame: Gilded frame decorated with foliage, period, in good condition Dimensions: 75 cm x 100 cm With frame: 95 cm x 120 cm Description of the scene In a flowery garden bathed in spring light, a group of soldiers in historical uniforms are gathered around a large wooden table, under a flowering tree. The scene, serene and lively, evokes a moment of rest, negotiation or conviviality in the garrison. In the center, an old man, probably an officer or scribe, is bent over papers, while around him, the soldiers discuss, observe or relax. In the foreground, a drum and a lying dog recall the military context. In the background, a woman comes forward, carrying a tray, adding a touch of everyday life to the scene. The whole, rich in detail and finely painted, mixes historical realism and atmospheric softness, characteristics of the work of Georges Saint-Lanne.
