Note: Raffaëlli moved to Asnières in the late 1870s. Once there he would paint interpretations of life in this suburb of Paris. Sotheby’s, in their note for a similar painting references a statement from Vincent Van Gogh, an admirer of Raffaëlli, “‘But he who paints, like Raffaëlli, the ragpickers of Paris in their own quarter has far more difficulties, and his work is more serious’ (M. Young, 'Heroic Indolence: Realism and the Politics of Time in Raffaëlli’s Absinthe Drinkers,' The Art Bulletin, June 2008, vol. 90, no. 2, p. 246).”, See: Christie's New York, October 27, 2014, Lot 00021
