Fine Art Tuesday

 

Girl pealing a potato. Yes, I find this painting "appealing".

Albert Anker was born in 1831 in Ins, Switzerland and died in 1910. Ins is in the northwest corner of Switzerland and is in a fertile, valley between Lake Neuchâtel and Lake Bie.

He is famous for painting people, often pre-teen girls, doing the everyday chores of living.

Titled "The Quack". No plaster in that room. It is a fire trap.

A still life. No oranges, figs, grapes or vino. Just coffee, bread, salt and potatoes.
