Eugene Higgins (1874-1958) mother died when he was a young boy, and he grew up in various boarding houses around St. Louis with his father, a stonecutter. After a period of study at Washington University in St. Louis, Higgins worked as an architect, but soon moved to Paris to take art courses and copy the work of the old masters in the Louvre. In Paris he made a name for himself with his sympathetic portrayals of the poor in the tradition of Jean-François Millet and Honoré Daumier. He expressed his humanitarian interests in images of the downtrodden, exhibiting his work at the Paris Salon and the American Art Club.
Unsigned, as is common with his work.
