Lesson 91 

 DAGNAN-BOUVERET 



PASCAL Adolphe Dagnan-Bouveret is a French 

 artist. When he was a boy he longed to 

 become a painter of pictures, but his father said he 

 must be a merchant. Pascal was in great trouble. 

 He loved art, but had no mone}^ to pay for lessons 

 in painting, and his father was angry with him for 

 wishing to be an artist. Just then his grandfather, 

 who loved him tenderly, offered to pay for the les- 

 sons, and so Pascal began to paint. 



He became a famous artist, and has painted 

 some fine pictures. "At the Watering Trough"
