Brown was greatly influenced by the rustic painters of France, namely Jules Bastien Lepage whose was interested in the hard work of peasant folk and rural traditions. Brown's admiration for French art and his desire to explore the possibilities of working in the continental manner led him to spend much of his time from 1897 onwards painting in France.
