My Wordle score as the number of people in an artwork. Today it's 'Gypsy Family' by the 19th century artist August von Pettenkofen. When a military painter he spent time in Szolnok, Hungary. There his style changed and after time in Paris he also came under the influence of the Barbizon school. He is recognised for his sympathetic and realistic depictions of the difficult daily lives of Hungarian peasants and gypsies.
