Le Fifre-_Young_Flautist,_or_The_Fifer-Manet  of classic works，appreciate Edouard Manet  painter classic works !

It depicts a young soldier of the guard band playing a piccolo. The young man in the picture stands with his right foot as the center of gravity, his left leg stretches outward, his upper body leans to the left naturally, his fingers press on the hole of the instrument, and melodious notes flow out. He is attentive and carefully playing a small wooden flute.

The author describes the boy's dark blue coat, red trousers, small cap with yellow and red frills, white belt on his chest and golden Piccolo with unrestrained brushwork. The color of the picture is simple and the contrast is strong, especially the two dark lines on the red trousers. The background uses a large blank to show the sense of space around the characters. MANET is not an impressionist painter in the true sense, not only because he has never participated in any impressionist art exhibition, but also because he has not fully incorporated the modeling into the expression of "light" and "color". His sensitivity to the solid color of objects is still the basis of his painting.
