Bastien-Lepage was a French artist who lived and worked in Paris. He painted scenes of peasant life in a style close to that of the Impressionists. His best-known works are the small portraits like this, which were hailed for their psychological depth.

The artist worked in the ‘en plein air’ (in the open air) method. Those works and his realist style influenced many others, including members of the Newlyn School in Cornwall, particularly Stanhope Forbes. His work is exhibited in many of Europe’s art museums and often reproduced in prints.
