Mihaly Munkacsy (1844-1900) - Yawning Apprentice (Asito inas) 1869
Hungarian Stamp Issued 1966
Although this is not an impressionist piece of work, at first viewing this does appear to be quite unsettling, in the style of Edvard Munch's "The Scream" which was completed in 1893, well after this work by Munkacsy. This painting is typical of this artist's work, as he revelled in depicting scenes of people from an everyday perspective. If a model was used for this painting, they would probably have a very sore neck and mouth at the end of the sitting.
