In this note the following new version of the Schwarz lemma is proved: If f is a holomorphic function mapping a bounded convex domain D-1 of a complex Banach space into a convex domain D-2 of another complex Banach space and f(a) = b, then the image by f of the set of points in D-1 lying at a distance greater than r from the frontier of D-1 is at a positive distance from the frontier of D-2. This distance depends only upon a, b, and r, and it can be estimated specifically in terms of the norms of the Banach spaces. Our result extends several earlier theorems.
