Emile Claus (Sint-Eloois-Vijve, September 27, 1849 – Astene, June 14, 1924) was a Belgian painter. An important person in the life of Emile Claus was the lady painter Jenny Montigny. She followed master classes at his workshop in Astene and for years travelled back and forth between Ghent and Astene. Although Claus was 26 years older than she was, they began a relationship that would last until Claus' death. This painting was sold at Sotheby's on May 30, 2008 for GB £120,500.
