About the piece
Created in 1902 as a preparatory sketch for the Vanves town hall, this work by Jean-Joseph Enders captures the outskirts of Paris in a warm, impressionistic light. The composition masterfully balances a solitary reader with the vertical presence of a garden statue and trees, all bathed in the soft, hazy glow of a late afternoon in autumn.
