The artist:
Charles Martin-Sauvaigo was born in Carras, near Nice, into a family of farmers. At a very young age he encountered the artist Felix Ziem who greatly encouraged him in his ambition to become a painter.
Charles Martin-Sauvaigo enrolled in the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and quickly found success winning several competitions and receiving his first commissions from the Perfecture des Alpes-Maritimes, Nice Chamber of Commerce and the Lycée Masséna, also in Nice.
Charles Martin-Sauvaigo exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from the age of twenty four, winning prizes in 1921 and 1923 and the gold medal in 1937. In 1922 he became the official artist of the French Navy based in Nice. He exhibited throughout his career in various Parisien galleries, receiving many commissions including one for an immense diorama of over 400 square metres to decorate the Cote d'azur Pavilion at the 1937 Exposition Universelle de Paris. He also created many paintings for luxury liners of the era, including the SS Île de France.
Martin-Sauvaigo's love for his native 'pays Niçoise' and Provence always guided and inspired his paintings. He depicted the ports, peasants and landscapes of the area before the great changes brought by tourism, in a colourful but restrained palette, always capturing the unique light of the region.
Examples of Charles Martin-Sauvaigo's paintings can be found at the Musée Massena in Nice, and Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris.
Martin Sauvaigo was made an Officier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1929. He died in 1970.

Martin-Sauvaigo (French, 1881–1970) was a French painter known for his evocative depictions of interior scenes, landscapes, and still lifes. His work is often characterized by a soft, impressionistic style, with an emphasis on light, texture, and atmospheric effects. His interiors, such as the one you uploaded, often reflect a serene, intimate mood, capturing the essence of domestic life. Born in Nice, Martin-Sauvaigo was deeply influenced by the natural beauty of southern France, which is reflected in his landscapes and his approach to light in interior scenes. His style is rooted in the French impressionist tradition, focusing on the play of light and color to evoke mood rather than precise detail. He was active throughout the early to mid-20th century and was part of a generation of artists who navigated the transition from classical realism to modernist approaches in painting. Though less widely known today compared to some of his contemporaries, Martin-Sauvaigo's works remain valued for their quiet beauty and technical skill, particularly among collectors of French impressionist and post-impressionist art. His pieces often find their way into private collections and exhibitions that celebrate French modernist and impressionist art.
