Summer scene in the garden of a suburban cottage. The father is smoking a cigar, while his young wife is drinking a cup of coffee. Her little boy, dressed in sailor costume, is talking to his grandmother, whose face is hidden by the hangings of the garden chair; while his little sister is amusing herself with sand, pail, and shovel.
Ernest Duez was born on 8 March 1843 in Paris, and studied painting under Isidore Pils. He first exhibited at the Salon in 1868 with Mater Dolorosa, and achieved success there in 1874 with a third-class medal for his paintings Splendeur and Misère. He won other medals there subsequently.Genre scenes depicting modern life included Au restaurant Le Doyen (1878) and Café sur la Terrasse (1890).Portraits included Mme Duez (1877) and Alphonse de Neuville (1880). Sur la plage Landscapes and seaside scenes were often inspired by the Normandy countryside around Villerville and Le Havre. In 1879 at the Salon he exhibited the large triptych Saint Cuthbert, depicting the stages of the life of Cuthbert set in landscapes based on the countryside around Villerville. Considered his greatest work, it is now in the Musée d’Orsay.
