Clarence Millet, A.N.A. (American/New Orleans, 1879-1959), "Studio Courtyard", oil on canvas, signed lower right, exhibition label en verso, 29 7/8 in. x 24 in., in a period frame. Provenance: According to family history, this painting was exhibited at the Louisiana State Museum in the 1950s. Note: This New Orleans courtyard scene is painted from the same viewpoint as Millet's work The Shadow, sold in these rooms as lot 537 on October 4, 2003 Millet paints a daytime version of the same courtyard with few minor changes, such as the inclusion of fruit and flowers on the banana tree and the running of the fountain in the lower left corner. The positioning of the foliage is so similar in the two paintings that one could speculate that Millet painted them within the same year, but in different seasons, playing with the atmospheric effects of day versus night and spring versus fall.
