^Baker, Kelly Jeannette (10 September 2003). Henry Ossawa Tanner: Race, Religion, and Visual Mysticism (Thesis). Florida State University. p. 14, 21-22. Benjamin-Constant and Laurens were both widely known for their genre, historical, and biblical scenes, which relied on the realism and "sharp" colors of "French academic painting." These two artists as well as Thomas Eakins likely influenced Tanner's artistic style that initially relied on realism... the artist painted black genre paintings... genre scenes of Brittany peasants
