Paris: The Concierge is a 1910 by Ernest Haskell, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a concierge in a Parisian interior, likely from the early 20th century. The concierge is shown in a doorway, dressed in a long coat and hat, with a broom in hand. The room is dimly lit, with only a sliver of light peeking through the doorway. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The contrast between light and dark adds to the overall mood of the piece. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Ernest Haskell, an American artist known for his depictions of everyday life.
Ernest Haskell was an American artist and illustrator, internationally famous in his lifetime and remembered for his etchings, as well as engravings, pen-and-ink drawings, lithographs and watercolors.
