Newly familiar with this painter and love quite a few in his collection, mostly for the doleful (and soulful) expressions he creates in his young ladies . These are just postcards and I wish they were larger.

Some favorites:
The Shepherdess, 1889
The Knitting Girl, 1869
Rest in Harvest, 1865
Evening Mood, 1882
The Bohemian, 1890
Temptation, 1880
The Broken Pitcher, 1891
