EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jules Breton's masterpiece, "Peasant Girl Knitting" painted in 1873. The oil on canvas painting measures 58x41 cm and is currently held in a private collection. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of a woman at work during the 19th century. The focal point of the painting is undoubtedly the peasant girl herself, diligently knitting as she sits comfortably. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, providing us with a glimpse into 19th-century style. This portrayal not only highlights her individuality but also represents an entire class - the working-class or labouring classes. Breton's skillful brushstrokes emphasize both the beauty and hardships associated with agriculture and farming, which were integral parts of peasant life during that time. Through his artistry, he brings to life a poignant portrait that transcends social boundaries. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the significance of social class within society's fabric. The proletariat or labouring class played an essential role in shaping history and culture during this period. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail of this extraordinary artwork for our enjoyment today. Let us appreciate their dedication to preserving such valuable pieces from our past while immersing ourselves in Breton's vision through this stunning photo print.
