EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Kitchen boy on a cigarette break" by Joseph Bail (1862-1921), captures a moment of respite in the bustling kitchen. Measuring 16 x 22 cm, this artwork showcases the artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey emotion through brushstrokes. In this scene, we see a young kitchen boy taking a well-deserved break from his duties. Clad in an apron and a vibrant red shirt, he sits on a chair with his cooking pot nearby. The smoke from his cigarette gracefully swirls around him as he leans back, finding solace in this brief moment of tranquility. The composition is enhanced by the presence of various elements that add depth to the narrative. A traditional chef's hat or "toque" rests beside him, symbolizing his role within the culinary world. The rustic furniture and overall apron hanging nearby give us glimpses into the working environment surrounding him. Previously part of Brame & Lorenceau's collection, this artwork now resides in a private collection. Its inclusion in Bridgeman Images' portfolio ensures its accessibility for art enthusiasts worldwide. Bail's masterful technique brings life to everyday scenes like these, reminding us of the beauty found even in mundane moments. This painting serves as both an exquisite piece of art and an intriguing glimpse into history—a testament to Bail's talent and artistic vision.
