Joseph Bail (Limonest, France, January 22, 1862 - 1921) became best known for paintings of maids and cooks and with them. His playful images of cooks and their young assistants, along with an interest in light effects, established Bail as an artist who not only looked to the past but who used the modern movement of Realism to execute paintings that showed modern-day preoccupations with daily life that was becoming more and more rare in late nineteenth century France.
