The paintings of this period include peasant subjects that show the influence of Jules Bastien-Lepage.
The limited palette and wistful mood of the early works will continue to be distinguishing features of Harrison's later landscape paintings.
Born in Philadelphia, Birge Harrison is the brother of artist T. Alexander Harrison.
He had studied first at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1874, and will later credit Thomas Eakins as a positive influence on his own teaching style.
He has come to Paris on the advice of John Singer Sargent to study with Carolus-Duran and at the École des Beaux-Arts under Alexandre Cabanel.
