EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in Parisian street life. The focal point is the coconut merchant, his refreshing drink flavored with liquorice enticing passersby on a bustling street corner. Standing beside him is a picturesque fountain, adding an element of charm to the scene. Painted by Augusta Le Baron Desves in 1843, this oil on canvas artwork showcases the vibrant energy and diversity of 19th and early 20th-century Paris. It belongs to the genre of art français, depicting everyday life in France during that period. The coconut merchant represents one of many familiar figures found on Parisian streets at that time. With his glass hat and bell instrument, he skillfully entices customers to indulge in his unique beverage offering. This image transports us back to a time when street commerce was thriving and human interaction played a vital role in daily life. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, this painting serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate the rich tapestry of French culture and tradition. Through its vivid colors and intricate details, it invites viewers to imagine themselves strolling through those lively streets filled with merchants like the coconut seller. Leonard de Selva's expertly captured photograph preserves this remarkable piece for future generations to admire and cherish.
