He painted some fine landscapes, in particular those hanging in the Musée du Puy, and the Musée Calvet d’Avignon. However the majority of Enjolras’s oil paintings and pastels depict young ladies illuminated by lamplight. His subjects are often engaged in simple domestic pursuits such as reading, sewing or flower arranging, although at times, he sought a more intimate portrayal.
