Charles SPRAGUE PEARCE (1851-1914) was an American artist, working in the Naturalist style of Academic realism. He is best-known for his depictions of French peasants at work and rest.
Pearce was born at Boston, Massachusetts. In 1873 he became a pupil of Léon Bonnat in Paris, and after 1885 he lived in Paris and at Auvers-sur-Oise. He painted Egyptian and Algerian scenes, French peasants, and portraits, and also decorative work, notably for the Thomas Jefferson Building at the Library of Congress at Washington.
