Provenance:

Collection of Scott Pothan, Founding Director, Whangarei Art Museum

On the Way to Market, Brittany is similar to The Pig Market Montreuil, Te Papa Collection, which was gifted to the national collection by the artist in 1912. During this time, Burge was painting with her friend Frances Hodgkins in Brittany. Burge was a pupil of James McLaughlan Nairn, and Charles Frederick Goldie. She studied in France, married artist George Burge in 1911, and was associated with British artists Frank Brangwyn and Philip Connard.
