Title: Evening Party Date: early 20th century Technique: Oil on canvas Place of conservation: Private collection
I accidentally stumbled upon this magnificent work of art ! Unfortunately little known, Delphin Enjolras (French, 1857 - 1945) bathes the scene in a soft nocturnal glow, transforming a quiet musical gathering into a moment of pure elegance and intimacy. Silken gowns shimmer beneath the lantern light, while the reflections upon the water and the delicate garden atmosphere create a dreamlike serenity. The painting feels less like a formal composition than a fleeting summer memory filled with music, perfume, warm evening air, and Belle Époque refinement.
