Adrien Jean Le Mayeur de Merprès: Balinese Maidens in a Garden

ADRIEN-JEAN LE MAYEUR DE MERPRÈS, (1880 – 1958), BALINESE MAIDENS IN THE GARDEN, Oil on canvas, Signed; inscribed N20 on the reverse, 75.5 by 90.5 cm; 29½ by 35½ in., Image Source: Sotheby’s

“Set in the warm seclusion of the artist’s picturesque home, Le Mayeur reveals his innate ingenuity and practiced familiarity with the vivid harmony of beauty, sunlight and colour. Balinese Maidens in the Garden is a captivating snapshot of the languorous warmth that imbued every corner of the tropical paradise that Le Mayeur created; as three Balinese beauties sit in luxuriant repose. …In pastel hues of pink, yellow and plum, the artist fabricates an ethereal world of beauty with his masterful brushwork and soft streaks of impasto. With his highly impressionistic style, Le Mayeur reduces flowers to dots of vibrancy, and leaves to mere strokes of verdant paint, as the sun streams gently in the hidden enclave”.”
