The focal point of this spring landscape miniature is a tree in full bloom on a flower meadow, its branches almost reaching the side edges and the top of the image.
The scene is rendered in beautiful, subtly nuanced shades of blue, as well as green and pink tones, and possesses an ornamental, Art Nouveau-like character. This is particularly emphasized by the circular blossoms and the outlines, partly set in gold, in the meadow, on the tree, and in the clouds.
André Evard (1876-1972) marked this work with his monogram “A.E.” and the creation date “April 8, 1911” in the lower corner of the image.
The artist had a penchant for serial work, and thus another miniature of this scene from the same year exists, which, however, differs in its pastel-like coloring and a denser pictorial composition.
