Eugene Higgins, a painter and etcher, represented with sentimentality the impact of the homeless, depressed and less fortunate people of society. His passionate sympathy for the poor led him to generalize situation and location, painting archetypal situations rather than observed This is a one of a kind !
This image is of a pair of farm children on a hillside. Signed at lower left ‘E Higgins’. Very good condition. Higgins credited his father’s influence as being very strong on his work because his father was a stonecutter, whom the young Higgins helped and observed the way he handled the materials.
