A Peasant Girl Knitting, ca. 1870, Oil on canvas, 22 5/8 x 18 1/2 in. ( x 47 cm), Paintings, Jules Breton (French, Courrières 1827–1906 Paris), Breton often drew inspiration for his paintings from scenes of peasants and rural life observed in the area around his native village of Courrières. The setting and treatment of the subject here are typical of his artistic approach, which lies between the idealized academicism of Bouguereau and the social realism of Daumier
