Donation to the museum[]

After donating it to the museum, a museum label will give a description of the painting. In New Horizons, the museum label reads:

The Fifer
Édouard Manet, 1866
Oil on canvas

One of Manet's earlier works, this painting depicts a young flautist dressed in military uniform. Manet's works are notable for their lack of linear perspective and strong color contrast. These attributes led some to call him "The Father of Impressionism" and make comparisons to Vélazquez. Fun fact-flautists can determine what note the boy is playing just by studying the painting closely.

  • Note: Prior to New Leaf, paintings did not have visual differences between forged and genuine versions. Therefore, paintings given to Blathers were fake or authentic at random.
