L'Enseigne de Gersaint, also known as "The Shop Sign of Gersaint," is a celebrated painting by the French Rococo artist Jean-Antoine Watteau, created in 1721. This work is particularly notable for its depiction of an art gallery interior, which was an innovative subject for its time. The painting was originally commissioned by Edme-François Gersaint, a prominent Parisian art dealer, to serve as a sign for his shop located on the Pont Notre-Dame in Paris. Watteau completed the piece in just eight days, a testament to his remarkable skill and the urgency of the commission.

The painting is divided into two panels and portrays a bustling scene within Gersaint's gallery. On the left side, a group of elegantly dressed figures is engaged in the examination and discussion of various artworks, reflecting the social and cultural milieu of early 18th-century Paris. The right side of the painting features a more intimate interaction, with a couple admiring a portrait, while another figure carefully packs a painting into a crate. This duality in the composition not only showcases Watteau's mastery in capturing human expression and interaction but also serves as a commentary on the commercialization of art during the period.

L'Enseigne de Gersaint is often interpreted as a reflection of Watteau's own experiences and sentiments towards the art world. The painting's intricate details and the fluidity of the brushwork exemplify the Rococo style, characterized by its lightness, elegance, and an emphasis on the pleasures of life. The work also holds historical significance as it marks one of Watteau's final masterpieces before his untimely death later that year.

Today, L'Enseigne de Gersaint is housed in the Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, where it continues to be admired for its artistic brilliance and its insightful portrayal of the art market in the early 18th century. The painting remains a vital piece for understanding the evolution of art dealership and the role of art in society during Watteau's era.
