"Breton Girls with Chinese Lanterns" is a painting by French artist Ferdinand Loyen du Puigaudeau (1864–1930), known for his post-impressionist works that often feature the landscapes and traditions of Brittany. This particular painting captures a scene of Breton girls, likely in traditional dress, illuminated by the soft glow of Chinese lanterns. The use of light and shadow, a common theme in Du Puigaudeau's work, plays a central role in this composition, creating a harmonious interplay between the figures and their environment.

While the exact date of creation for "Breton Girls with Chinese Lanterns" is not well-documented, Du Puigaudeau's fascination with Brittany and its local customs was a recurring inspiration throughout his career, especially after he settled in the region in the late 19th century. His interest in the effects of light, particularly in night scenes, aligns with the broader post-impressionist movement's exploration of color, light, and form beyond the naturalistic depictions of earlier impressionists.

Du Puigaudeau was associated with the Pont-Aven School, a group of artists centered around the small Breton village of Pont-Aven who were drawn to the area by its picturesque landscapes and distinctive Celtic culture. Although he was not as well-known as some of his contemporaries, such as Paul Gauguin or Emile Bernard, Du Puigaudeau's work has gained recognition for its unique contribution to the post-impressionist movement, particularly in his treatment of light in nocturnal settings.

"Breton Girls with Chinese Lanterns" reflects Du Puigaudeau's commitment to capturing the ephemeral effects of light and his interest in the daily life and festivities of the Breton people. The painting is emblematic of his oeuvre, which often evokes a sense of tranquility and enchantment through its depiction of the region's rural landscapes and cultural heritage.

As with many of Du Puigaudeau's paintings, "Breton Girls with Chinese Lanterns" is likely held in a private collection or a museum specializing in post-impressionist art. The work contributes to the understanding of regionalism in art and the exploration of cultural identity through the lens of the post-impressionist aesthetic.
