The present work by the celebrated American Impressionist, Childe Hassam, records a view along the Seine, which he painted in the spring of 1888--approximately halfway through his second of four sojourns to Paris. The Massachusetts-born painter had first visited the French capital in the summer of 1883 with the Boston artist Edmund H. Garrett. In the autumn of 1886, he returned there with his wife, Maud, and this time stayed for three years. Prior to this extended stay in France, Hassam had had very little formal art training, and quickly sought to remedy that situation by enrolling at the Académie Julian by the end of 1886. There he trained under Gustave Boulanger and Jules-Joseph Lefebvre (whose work is represented in the current auction.) By the spring of 1888, Hassam decided to quit his academic training in order to concentrate on painting urban subjects, such as the present scene, and sunlit garden views which earned him major critical acclaim. The rather spare composition of this work, together with its blond tonality, pay tribute to the radical compositions of Edgar Degas, which drew inspiration from Japanese prints.

A work closely related in subject and composition to the present painting is Hassam's Along the Seine, Winter of 1887 in the Dallas Museum of Art (oil on wood, 8 x 11 in., bequest of Joel T. Howard), which was included in the recent exhibition, Americans in Paris 1860-1900, organized by the National Gallery, London, and

EMIL CARLSEN (American 1853-1932)
Still Life With Garlic On A Ledge, circa 1920s
Oil on panel
33 x 24-1/2inches (83.8 x 62.2 cm)
Signed in full at lower left: Emil Carlsen

This enigmatic and sophisticated late work by the Danish-born painter Emil Carlsen combines his lifelong interest in the evocation of mood and the emotional tension that can be evoked through the powerful presence of a still-life object. In this sizable easel painting, Carlsen obscures the boundaries between landscape (albeit an interior environment) and still life-his two specialties as a painter: most of the image is suffused with a ruddy darkness reminiscent of Rembrandt's work. The very spare interior space he has portrayed is activated by a shaft of light which comes from outside the scene in the manner of Caravaggio. It strikes two round objects on a plain wooden ledge, giving them a solemn plasticity and importance beyond anything they might actually represent. Are these onions or heads of garlic-two herbs Carlsen frequently included in his kitchen still lifes from the 1880s on-or are they apples blanched by the light, or possibly two hard rolls of bread? Regardless, they suggest the presence of someone who set them there, and who might still be present beside them in the fringed, red woolen shawl to the right. The shaft of light then moves past the bench to strike the stone floor below, illuminating the groove between the two pieces of pavement, calling sharp attention to the gash. The scene is intentionally mysterious, a suggestion. The viewer is at liberty to fill in the details.

Both shadowy and radiant in its palette and attention to the fall of light on form, this meditative still life is the work of a mature painter who, during the course of his career, made a very careful study of the Old Masters as well as the Impressionists. During the 1870s, following a brief return trip to his native Denmark, Carlsen went to Paris where he stayed for six months and d
