William Henry Lippincott - Farm Interior, Breton Children Feeding Rabbits [1878], originally uploaded by Gandalf's Gallery.
In the nineteenth century, artists from New York and Paris often made painting trips to Brittany, on the north-west coast of France. William Henry Lippincott (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1849 - New York City, 1920) painted this interior three years after a summer spent in Breton villages. He included a sentimental reminder of his stay there, depicting the massive chimney piece from the Château de Lezaven, where he shared a studio with other American artists working in Pont-Aven.
