About the Item

Early 20th century drawing and watercolour on paper by noted French Post Impressionist painter Henri Lebasque. The work is signed in pencil bottom right and is presented in a gilt wooden frame with a fine cut card mount under glass. This charming artwork presents a scene of a lady walking a dog as someone else takes a promenade next to her, all under the shade of a majestic tree with buildings in the distance. It is all rendered with expressive washes and delicate brushwork. Dominated by the tree, whose lush, green canopy stretches across the top, the piece invites viewers to explore the setting beneath. The Lebasque employs soft blues and greens, creating a harmonious palette that evokes a gentle, calming atmosphere. In the distance, buildings punctuate the landscape, anchoring the scene in time and place. The composition is both intimate and expansive, with a masterful use of negative space accentuating the organic forms. This artwork captures the ephemeral beauty of nature and human connection, making it an enduring testament to the artist's keen observational skills and artistic prowess. Henri Lebasque (25 September 1865 – 7 August 1937) was a French Post-Impressionist painter. He was born at Champigné (Maine-et-Loire). His work is represented in French museums, notably Angers, Geneva (Petit Palais), Lille (Musée des Beaux-Arts), Nantes, and Paris (Musée d’Orsay) and important private collections worldwide. He started his education at the École régionale des beaux-arts d'Angers, and moved to Paris in 1886. There, Lebasque started studying under Léon Bonnat, and assisted Ferdinand Humbert with the decorative murals at the Panthéon. Around this time, Lebasque met Camille Pissarro and Auguste Renoir, who later would have a large impact on his work. Lebasque's vision was coloured by his contact with younger painters, especially Édouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard, founders of Les Nabis, a group of Intimist painters that first favoured the calm and quietude of domestic subject matter. From his first acquaintance with Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, Lebasque learnt the significance of a colour theory which stressed the use of complementary colours in shading. Lebasque was a founding member of the Salon d'Automne in 1903 with his friend Henri Matisse and exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. Two years later, a group of artists exhibited there including Georges Rouault, André Derain, Henri Ottmann, Édouard Vuillard, and Matisse. Lebasque also became friends with artists such as Raoul Dufy, Louis Valtat, and Henri Manguin, the last of whom introduced Lebasque to the South of France. His time in South of France would lead to a radical transformation in Lebasque's paintings, changing his colour palette forever. Other travels included the Vendée, Normandy, and Brittany. Lebasque died at Cannet, Alpes Maritimes in 1937.

This street in the old village of Montmartre, which existed before the eleventh century as a path, later became an alley that served as a boundary between the seigneuries of Saint-Denis and Montmartre. Called "rue Notre-Dame" around 1516, it is indicated on the map of Jouvin de Rochefort of 1672 as a road. It was classified as part of the Parisian road network by a decree of 23 May...
