About the Item

This Barbizon influenced work is a moving and beautifully painted work. The artist took a strong interest in artists such as Corot and the French painters that took to depicting the French countryside right prior to the Impressionist movement. The landscape was characterized by rich deep green coloration set off by pale skies. It was also a focus to capture the everyday life of the workers in the fields. Often they are punctuated by a poeticness and synthesis of nature and man and a sort of pathos. This painting is early in the artist's career and at that time was very well received in the American marketplace. The painting is signed in the lower right "72, 85 - 91. These dates correspond to when the artist did significant work. Note this is painted on a board called Masonite which the artist preferred to work on. Normal for him to hold a work and continue at various periods to work on it. Often this achieved a rich and highly developed surface.
