All four of these gouaches were probably done while a student at a Paris atelier and date to c.1898 to 1899. All of equal size and framed uniformly. We are grateful to Dr S.B. Kennedy for his kind assistance in cataloguing this lot. A set of three similar works sold through Whyte's on 28 November 2006 as lot 104 (€19,000) _____ Paul Henry arrived in Paris in about September 1898. It was the Paris of La Belle Époque, of George Moore Oscar Wilde and the later Impressionists Toulouse -Lautrec and Degas. This was a turning point in the artist's life. He became a student at the Académie Julian and later at the Académie Carmen where Whistler - one of the most important influences in his development as an artist - taught. One of the highlights of the art students' year was the Four Arts Ball, held each spring at the Moulin Rouge and attended by droves of students and professors from the French capital after the submissions to the Salon were settled. The balls were usually a raucous affair in fancy dress with each studio also given a theme and a float to decorate and procession to the famous music-hall. The style and subject of the present collection - executed during his formitative years as an artist -exude the charm and excitement of the era. For further reading see Dr S.B. Kennedy's text, chapter three Paris 1898-1900 pp.15-20.
