Armand Guillaumin was a foundational member of the Impressionist group and a close friend of Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro. Despite his artistic output, he maintained a humble life and famously won the grand prize in the French National Lottery in 1891, which finally allowed him to quit his municipal job and paint full-time.
