This piece is inspired by the realist, Gustav Corbet, particularly his work, “The Stone Breakers.” In that piece Corbet depicts the everyday life of a man and a boy hard at work. Unlike other paintings with people working, such as “The Gleaners,” by Jean Francois Millet, Corbet shows how the world really is and paints the subjects with worn-out clothes and shoes. My art piece illustrates my tasty, yet boring, most commonly eaten lunch in the Andrews household.
