This delightful image is perhaps painted a little more freely and with more of an impressionist technique than the naturalism of Lepage and Guthrie, but the subject and the placement of the solitary figure towards the front of the picture plane, are certainly some of the features of the Naturalism which evolved from the style of the Hague School, Anton Mauve, Puvis de Chavanne and Joseph Israels (Realism without the socio- political comment of the Barbizon School, especially Millet and Leon L'Hermitte) and the influence of the Northern French painters such as Lepage and Jules Breton.
The use of the flat square-ended brush referred to by the previous contributor was indeed common practice amongst the Glasgow Boys as well and indeed one of the techniques, which helps to make their work so recognisable.
