About the piece
Created by Eugène Carrière around 1890, this oil sketch showcases his signature sfumato technique, where forms emerge from a dreamy, atmospheric haze. Originally a study for the Salon des Sciences at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris, the work emphasizes delicate light and shadow over sharp detail, creating a serene and timeless presence.
