French, 1848 - 1884
Woman gathering faggots. Depicting a young woman with a bundle of sticks and two goats in the foreground with hilly landscape and single figure in the background. Signed lower left, "J. BASTIEN LEPAGE".
A major force in plein-air art, Bastien-LePage greatly influenced the American Impressionists including Twachtman, J. Alden Weir and Alexander Harrison who studied with him as did Robert Vonnoh and D. Ridgeway Knight. Circa 1878, Bastien-LePage began painting French peasant life. Passing away in 1884, Bastien-LePage's paintings of this period are both rare and exemplify his finest efforts.
