This is a preparatory study for a large-scale, full-length composition of a peasant boy stealing a drink from a pitcher. William Turner Dannat trained in Munich and later in Paris, drawing inspiration from 17th-century Spanish masters like Diego Velázquez, as did his teachers, including the Hungarian painter Mihály Munkácsy. Dannat’s realist style, characterized by loose, expressive brushstrokes, is evident in both this study and in the final painting. The French government purchased An Aragonese Smuggler (1883; Château de Blérancourt) when it was first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1883. This study is one of the Art Institute’s earliest acquisitions, entering the collection in 1887.

• Canvas: A canvas print, which should not be confused with a canvas painting, is a digital image printed on a UV direct printing machine. A canvas print has the advantage of being low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suited for all kinds of walls.
• Metal print (aluminium dibond): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print material with an impressive effect of depth, creating a fashionable impression by having a surface , which is not reflective. For the Aluminium Dibond option, we print your favorite work of art on the aluminium surface. The colors are luminous, details are very clear, and you can notice the matte appearance of the print.
• Print on glossy acrylic glass (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, which is sometimes labelled as a UV print on plexiglass, transforms an artwork into lovely wall decoration. With an acrylic glass fine art print contrasts as well as minor image details will be visible because of the precise gradation of the print.
• Poster print (canvas material): Our poster print is a printed canvas paper with a granular texture on the surface. It is appropriate for putting your art copy with a custom frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin 2-6cm around the artwork, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
