About the piece
Created around 1840 by François Gabriel Guillaume Lépaulle, this work is a preparatory sketch for a commission at the Church of Saint-Merry in Paris. The composition features Saint Vincent de Paul in a moment of exaltation, framed by a trompe-l'oeil Gothic arch that provides architectural depth to the intimate, painterly scene.
