Lot Essay

Born in Portugal and having worked with the first generation of Portuguese plein air painters, Souza-Pinto lived most of his life in France. In 1880 he moved to Paris where, under the influence of the art of Jules Breton (1827-1906), he turned from landscapes to painting typical French and Portuguese countryfolk, the present work being a good example of his later style.
