Gate to the Farmhouse, Pont-Aven 1890 - 1894

Robert Polhill Bevan's charcoal drawing "Gate to the Farmhouse, Pont-Aven" depicts a rural scene of a simple gate leading to a farmhouse in the distance. The drawing highlights the artist's interest in capturing the essence of everyday life in the countryside, emphasizing the natural beauty of the landscape. The loose, expressive lines of the drawing convey a sense of immediacy and capture the artist's personal response to the subject matter. Bevan's work is a fine example of the Impressionist style, which sought to capture the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere.
