Description: | Signed: yes Description: This farm depiction may have been done in Brittany, as the artist spent time in the region, painting the life of the people, as well as anecdotal scenes. This canvas would therefore be typical of his work. There is however some doubt as to the Breton localization; the girl's bonnet does not appear to correspond to anything from the region, whilst the red scarf and blue skirt are not characteristic of the area either. The painter may however have used some artistic freedom in this representation. Fischer started specializing in Breton subjects in 1857, settled in Brittany in 1868 and taught art at the naval school in Brest between 1871 and 1886. | Subjects: | figure; animal (pig); everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Fischer, Alexandre-Georges (French artist, 1820-1890) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8974... | Go to resource |
