Le petit épicier (Chandlery) is a 1895 ink by Eugène Delâtre, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a serious-looking boy in a dark cap and coat, standing against a busy background. Behind him, a shop counter is packed with tools—scissors, brushes, and jars—suggesting a hardware or small shop. The lines are rough and textured, with some areas left blank to show light. The boy’s belt has a row of small metal badges, maybe awards or symbols of his trade. The artist used a mix of dark and light tones to make the scene pop. Want to see more?
