Description
Every morning at nine, Monsieur Garnier sets up his easel on the Pont d’Iéna, facing the tower. He has painted it in fog and in sunshine, in snow and in the pink light of July evenings. Tourists peer over his shoulder and ask, always, whether he ever gets bored. He laughs and shakes his head. The tower is never the same twice, he tells them, adding a dab of cerulean to the sky. It is the painter who changes.
This charming box captures that devoted artist’s corner. A painter’s easel holds a canvas showing the Eiffel Tower, as though the work had just been set out to dry in the Parisian air. It makes a delightful gift for an art student, a weekend watercolourist, a gallery owner or anyone who has fallen in love with Paris. Set it on a studio shelf among brushes and paint tubes, and it fits right in.
