Bevan was one of several English artists who formed the Camden Town Group in 1911, named after the working-class area of London that provided many of the group's artists with their subject matter. The scene shown here is the preparation for a horse auction. Bevan studied in France, and the bold colors and simplification of form here reflect the influence of Gauguin, with whom he became acquainted while painting in Brittany in 1894.
ProvenanceBy inheritance to Robert A. Bevan, artist's son, London; 1932, Robert A. Bevan sold to MFA. (Accession Date: February 4, 1932)
