Delphin Enjolras

Enjolras painted portraits, nudes, interiors, and used mostly watercolours, oil, and pastels.

He is best known for his intimate portraits of young women performing mundane activities such as reading or sewing, often illuminated by lamplight.

[3] He changed genres, focusing mainly on the portraiture of elegant young women by either lamplight or back lighting.

He would become an excellent painter of nudes, and many of his later works, such as "La Sieste", are of an erotic and sensual nature.

From 1890 and onwards, Enjolras exhibited his works at the Paris Salon, joining the Société des Artistes Français in 1901.
