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.
\nThe 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.
\nAndr\u00e9 Evard (1876-1972) marked this work with his monogram \u201cA.E.\u201d and the creation date \u201cApril 8, 1911\u201d in the lower corner of the image.
\nThe 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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
