Henri Le Sidaner was a French artist born in Mauritius in Indian Ocean. He went to Paris to study art and beginning in 1887 he started to send his paintings to Salon on a regular basis. He employed pointillism of Neo-Impressionism for which Georges Seurat is very well known, to paint many landscapes, indoor scenes and still-life paintings. He avoided using primary colors, instead subdued colors. His paintings are filled with tranquility woven with pathos.
This "Small Table in Evening Dusk" depicts a scene in the evening in a town facing the canal. This reminds us of an old Belgium city, Bruges which left very strong impressions on Le Sidaner. The table in the foreground with the dishes left behind and the light lit window in the background produce implicit atmosphere.
