Lot Essay

Between July and September 1891 Lemmen worked on a series of sketches in oilpaint in Heyst. These sketches are small studies of colours and contrasts at the beach, which can be seen as 'colour notes' for his painting 'Sunset at the beach' from 1892, which is in Muse d'Orsay in Paris (R. Cardon, op.cit., Brussels 1997)

To be included in the catalogue raisson of paintings by the artist, currently being prepared by Olivier Bertrand for the Belgian Art Research Institute.
