"Pelléas et Mélisande," a sketch of the Prologue The Forest

Gouache by Eugene Prevost, known as Messemin
Signed, then sent with a letter to Mr. Bachelet, grateful tribute Eug. Prévost,

Composed by Debussy, the play Pelléas et Mélisande is performed, early 20th century in Paris. It starts in the forest, in this beautiful setting.

Eugene Prévost called Messemin (1880-1944) took the name of his village as his pseudonym.

He has led a very great career as a theatre set decorator by creating the setting for several important scenes: the Opera, the Opéra Comique, the French Comedy...

This painting is probably dedicated to Alfred Bachelet, conductor of the Paris Opera in 1907.

Prevost paints the forest with an extraordinary impression of depth and an immense wealth of colours and shades.

Very nice wooden frame
Size: 29 x 40 cm.
Frame: 57 x 66 cm
