Oil On Heavy Cardboard – The Painter In His Studio – Signed Leroux – Early 20th Century

A superb early 20th-century studio scene depicting a painter seated before his canvas. A hushed atmosphere, light filtering through the skylight, and the rooftops of a city in the background (perhaps Montmartre in Paris): everything is there.

We are literally drawn into the intimacy of artistic creation. The composition is strong, structured by the large windows, with a lively and sensitive touch typical of the 1900s.

The paint is beautifully applied, vibrant, with visible impasto that brings the scene to life. An elegant palette of bluish grays, browns, and ochres, highly decorative and easily integrated into a contemporary or classic interior.

Signed Leroux on the back.

Period: French work, circa 1900-1920.
Support: Oil on heavy cardboard.

A sought-after subject – studio life – both intimate and emblematic. A charming piece, ideal for a collector or lover of artistic atmospheres.
