Deux Etudes De Coltineurs - Etudes Pour Le Decor De La Mairie Du Xixe Arrondissement - Avant 1882, is a significant work by the French painter Henri Gervex, created as part of his contributions to the decorative scheme for the town hall of the 19th arrondissement in Paris. Henri Gervex (1852–1929) was a renowned artist of his time, known for his realistic portrayals of contemporary Parisian life, as well as for his contributions to public and private art commissions. This particular piece, translating to "Two Studies of Coal Carriers - Studies for the Decor of the Town Hall of the 19th District - Before 1882," reflects Gervex's attention to the lives of ordinary Parisians and his skill in capturing the nuances of working-class existence.

The work is notable for its historical and artistic significance, serving as a study for a larger decorative project that aimed to celebrate the industrious spirit and daily activities within the 19th arrondissement, an area known for its diverse working-class population. By focusing on coal carriers, Gervex highlighted the essential, yet often overlooked, labor that powered the city of Paris, providing a dignified representation of these workers. The inclusion of this subject matter in a municipal building underscores the importance of acknowledging all contributors to urban life, regardless of their social status.

Created before 1882, these studies exemplify Gervex's meticulous approach to large-scale projects, showcasing his ability to capture movement, texture, and the interplay of light and shadow. The works likely served as preparatory sketches, allowing Gervex to refine his composition and palette before executing the final mural. Unfortunately, detailed information about the mural's current status or its reception at the time of its unveiling is scarce, making these studies invaluable for understanding Gervex's artistic process and his contributions to public art in Paris.

Deux Etudes De Coltineurs not only reflects the socio-economic realities of late 19th-century Paris but also exemplifies the broader trend among artists of the period to engage with themes of urban life and labor. Through this work, Henri Gervex contributes to the rich tapestry of French art history, offering insight into the era's aesthetic movements and the evolving relationship between art, society, and the urban landscape.
