Fine Art Friday
La Petite Lavandiere
Victor Gabriel Gilbert (1847-1933)
La Petite Vendeuse
Victor Gabriel GilbertVictor Gabriel Gilbert is a lesser known artist who painted a lot a scenes from Paris street cafes. Why am I drawn to these pictures? I love the look of purpose on the little washerwoman’s face. I’ve never had a daughter (until my son married) – the learning of grown up tasks by practicing them as a child appeals to me. Finally, I’m a sucker for outdoor French market scenes, particularly the baskets of produce.If you are posting a picture today, leave a comment to let me know. Even if you’re not xanga (xanga-schmanga – I wish it were easier) you can set up an identity in two minutes and let me know. I love looking at your fine art offerings!

Oh my! I love those. Thanks for this post, I’m so thrilled that you’ve shown me Gilbert.
My brain was elsewhere Friday, but this week I’m definitely in!
