Jean-Bertrand Pégot-Ogier se forme dans la tradition académique auprès des peintres de Concarneau avant de rencontrer Henry Moret qui l'initie à l'esthétique de Pont-Aven. Ce Jeune breton au panier témoigne de l'adhésion de Pégot-Ogier à ce courant artistique, tant par son sujet pittoresque que par l'utilisation de couleurs vives, apposées les unes à côtés des autres et délimitées par des traits de couleur plus foncés.
Jean-Bertrand Pégot-Ogier was well-established within the academic tradition of the Concarneau school prior to meeting Henry Moret, who initiated him into the aesthetics of the Pont-Aven movement. This "young Breton boy with basket" asserts Pégot-Ogier's adhesion to this artistic trend both through its picturesque subject and the use of lively juxtaposed colours with heavily simplified contours.
