Marie-François Firmin-Girard's contemporaries

Landscape, by Edgar Degas, 1892
The Veteran, by Marie-François Firmin-Girard, 1870
The Large Tree, by Paul Gauguin, 1891
The image shows two women walking arm in arm, both in traditional attire. One woman is facing away with a slight profile, while the other is seen from the side. Their faces are stylized and simplistic with covered hair. They wear long dresses with aprons and collars, and one has a striped apron. Haystacks and greenery surround them. Faint figures are in the background, as well as a spire-like structure. A dog is seen near the haystack, with simple lines suggesting a landscape.
The Kitchen of the Rôtisserie des Deux Paons, by Adolphe Monticelli, c. 1875–1881
A work made of transfer lithograph in black on gray china paper.
A work made of oil on panel.
This image shows an elevated view of a grassy landscape with sparse trees and vegetation at the horizon. The linear brushstrokes create texture and movement in the grass and sky. The color palette is monochromatic with sepia tones. In the foreground, a figure is on a horse amidst tall grasses, while in the distance, another figure stands on the left and a cluster of trees is on the right. The sky has wisps of clouds.

The works in this room are listed below.
