EDITORS COMMENTS
Esquisse pour la salle à manger de l'Hôtel de Ville de Paris: La pomme de terre," or "Sketch for the Dining Room of the Paris Town Hall: The Potato," is a captivating oil painting created by the renowned French artist Georges Bertrand in 1893. This masterpiece, a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of France, is housed in the collections of Parisian museums and showcases the simplicity and charm of rural life during the 19th century. Set against a backdrop of rolling fields and farmland, the painting depicts a father and daughter resting in the dining room of the Paris Town Hall. The father, dressed in the attire of a farmer, leans back in his chair, his weary face reflecting the hard work of the day. His daughter, dressed in traditional country clothing, gazes at him with a curious expression. The room itself is rustic and simple, with an arc and geometric design adorning the walls, and a letterbox format window offering a glimpse of the verdant fields outside. The central focus of the painting, however, is the humble potato. Two large, colorful tubers rest on the table, their rough, earthy texture contrasting with the smooth, polished wood of the table. The potatoes represent the hardy, sustaining power of the land and the importance of agriculture to the rural community. This beautiful sketch, with its warm, inviting colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the past and the daily life of a farming family in the Fourth Arrondissement of Paris during the late 19th century. It is a poignant reminder of the connection between the land, the people, and the simple pleasures of rural life.
