Under the Lamp, also known as Sous la lampe - Afred Sisley et sa femme, chez Bracquemond à Sèvres, is an 1887 or 1877[1] oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Marie Bracquemond.
The work represents one of a handful at the end of a five-year period (1881–1886) during which she did not produce any paintings.
Later that year, Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) came to stay with her family, sharing his approach and techniques.
They are seated at the dinner table in Bracquemond's home, lit by the light of a gas lamp.
[2] Gustave Geffroy, the first historian of Impressionism, gave a positive review of Bracquemond's use of light in his 1894 history of the movement.
