Description: | Signed: yes Description: Mettling was a painter of portraits, still-lifes and genre scenes who often drew his inspiration from literary sources. His paintings of peasants communicate great intensity to the viewer, and scenes such as this one are repeated in a number of works. He has used an earthy palette for this painting, which in style and composition particularly resembles his Cleaning Pots of 1874 (National Gallery of Canada). Examples of his work can be seen at museums in Amsterdam, Montreal and Paris. | Subjects: | figure; everyday life; interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mettling, Louis (French painter, 1847-1904) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8814... | Go to resource |
