Artist
Pierre Girard
Pierre Girard is a Barbizon school artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Pierre Girard painted quiet scenes of rural work in watercolour during the mid-1800s. You’ll find two of his pieces here: the 1841 view of a shallow river crossing called The Ford, and a slightly later sheet showing two wood sawyers at their trade. Both capture everyday moments with a light, translucent touch typical of the period’s watercolour tradition. Tap into The Ford to step into the scene and watch the figures pause mid-crossing.
