By May of 1881 he had joined the American artists' colony at Pont-Aven in Brittany. It is possible that the inscription "P.A." on this lot refers to Pont-Aven.Baker writes that Brittany "...held special interest for artists whose tastes for traditional rural themes and peasant imagery, cultivated by the painters of the Barbizon school, was satisfied by the colourfully-costumed Breton inhabitants whose lifestyle and customs were in many ways more medieval than modern."
