Archive Label 2003: Portraits of artists in their studios give the audience a fuller view of the subjects than do formal portrait sittings. The tradition of depicting the artist in the studio provides not only a physical description but also a greater insight into the artist as creator by including his or her surroundings and works. Daubigny depicts himself in his own environment, at work in his studio boat.
