Did you know?
Armand Guillaumin was a key member of the Impressionist circle, often painting alongside figures like Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne. Unlike many of his contemporaries who focused on refined scenes, Guillaumin was known for his dedication to capturing the industrial and working-class districts of Paris and its outskirts. This sketch demonstrates his fluid, spontaneous draughtsmanship, characteristic of his plein air studies.
