Summary

A summer afternoon at the great basin in the Jardin du Luxembourg. Children in sailor suits and pale frocks crowd the gravel at the water's edge, one with a boat-stick in hand; two women stand among them, one in scarlet, one in white, while the fountain throws up a tall grey-white plume behind. Beyond the balustrade the terrace steps rise between statues on their plinths, and the domed pavilion of the Palais du Luxembourg lifts through massed chestnuts into a sky of turquoise and cream. D'Espagnat paints it all in short, loaded, broken touches — rose and dove-grey in the gravel, jade and viridian in the trees, the basin a shimmer of blue and violet flecked with white — so the light seems to rise out of the picture rather than fall on it. The little figures are set down in two or three strokes apiece and are entirely alive. A founder of the Salon d'Automne and Renoir's close friend, d'Espagnat is held by the Musée d'Orsay, the Metropolitan Museum and the Thyssen-Bornemisza.
