Breton Reaper, By Jean-bertrand Pégot-oger (1877–1915)
Watercolor over black pencil lines, signed lower left, 33.5 x 26.5 cm
Born into a family from the Toulouse region, Jean-Bertrand Pégot-Oger was introduced to drawing and painting during his stays in Brittany. He soon became a member of the École de Concarneau, a group of French and foreign artists drawn to the city’s architectural and folkloric heritage. His works are marked by Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, influenced in particular by Paul Gauguin, Émile Bernard, and Henry Moret.
With its evocative lines, bold colors, and liveliness, the drawing exhibited here is part of the Post-Impressionist movement. It reveals the influence of the painter Henry Moret, known for his brightly colored Breton scenes, which sometimes feature peasants.
