The artwork titled “In the Studio. Paris” was created by Zinaida Serebriakova between 1905 and 1906. This piece is an example of genre painting, falling under the art movement of Impressionism.
The artwork depicts a scene within a studio, filled with individuals engaged in various activities, possibly observing a lecture, demonstration, or performance. The use of loose, expressive brushstrokes and a soft palette captures the transient light and the dynamic atmosphere characteristic of Impressionism. The composition draws the viewer’s attention to the figures’ diverse postures and attire, which together create a vivid tableau of early 20th-century Parisian life.
