Did you know?
Armand Guillaumin was a foundational member of the Impressionist circle, known for his vibrant color palettes in oil painting, though his works on paper like this demonstrate his strong draftsmanship. Interestingly, he worked as a civil servant for the city of Paris for many years, often painting the city's outskirts and the Seine in his spare time before winning a substantial lottery prize that allowed him to paint full-time.
