In the countryside, he observes many artists drawing or painting on the motif, like the painter Eugène Baboulène and the sculptor Dionisi. Later, he will meet on the same place the engraver Decaris. Little encouraged by his family in his vocation, he was denied entry to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Marseille. However, he will go there as a free listener every Thursday It's the war. He is an inveterate museum-goer and deprives himself of cinema to buy books of Art. He likes Puget, Loubon, Delacroix, Courbet. Later Van Gogh, Soutine, Modigliani, Leprin, Pascin, Marquet, Dufu, Braque and Verdilhan by which he will be influenced. At the end of the war, Trofimoff works as a leather and hides broker.

A. FERREYROLLES (active around 1880) Bread, fourme de Rochefort-Montagne and pottery on a wooden table Oil on canvas Signed and dated lower right 73 x 59 cm 1881 Few things are known to us about this Auvergne artist, who could to be Antoine Ferreyrolles, born in 1842 in Murat-le Quaire, about thirty kilometers southwest of Clermont-Ferrand; his surname being also very widespread in this part of Puy de Dôme. The Murol museum preserves three of his paintings, local landscapes, and there is a Entombment, painted in 1880 for the decor of the church of Rochefort-Montagne. There is also a Still Life with Game, dated 1886, and apparently in the same vein as our painting. This is executed in a very realistic style, bordering on trompe l'oeil, visibly inspired by artists from the beginning of the 17th century, such as the German Georg Flegel, the Dutch Floris Van Schooten or the Antwerp artist.
