Shepherdess from Marlotte

Hippolyt Soběslav Pinkas

Hippolyt Soběslav Pinkas - Shepherdess from Marlotte
The new Realist trends Pinkas encountered in France soon found their way into his paintings from the vicinity of Marlotte, Vaux-de-Cernay and Cernay-la-Ville. The French countrywoman, as the painting used to be called, has much in common with the grandiose peasant type of Jean-François Millet, who at the time was working at Barbizon and whose melancholy gloom Pinkas replaced with matter-of-fact sobriety.
