P8311 (as interior with figures)Siebelhoff (cit.) observes: ‘Yet the laboured class rather than peasants are represented. With its large size, the painting doubtless constituted a daring undertaking for the young artist. The monumentality of the size figures is typically for the academic tradition. The compact rounded figures remind one of Millet and the features of the young man to the right remind one of Constantin Meunier sculptures.’ artikel: De Groene Amsterdammer 2 februari 1884.
