PROVENANCE
Acquired through descendants by Mr. Bachelet, the grandson of Paul Chaigneau. Andre Bachelet was the principal donor of the works of Jean Ferdinand Chaigneau to the Museum of Barbizon.

Paul Chaigneau was the son and student of the last major surviving member of the Barbizon School Jean Ferdinand Chaigneau (1830-1906). His work resemble his father s and are often of calm pastoral scenes with a shepherd herding sheep at sunrise or sunset, when natural lighting is golden and intense. With the exception of his father, Paul was also heavily influenced by the iconic peasant figures of Jean Francois Millet and Jules Breton.
