Did you know?
Armand Guillaumin was a key figure in the Impressionist movement and a close friend of Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne. Unlike many of his contemporaries who came from wealthy backgrounds, Guillaumin worked for the French state railways to support himself, often sketching during his commute and on his limited days off. This sketch from 1869 captures the quiet, rustic outskirts of Paris that would become a staple of early Impressionist landscape study.
