Vignon (1847–1909) was a member of the inner Impressionist circle. He exhibited at the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth Paris Impressionist Exhibitions from 1880 to 1886. Notably, at the tightly restricted seventh Impressionist Exhibition of 1882 – limited to a small circle of only nine “true” Impressionists – Vignon participated with 15 paintings alongside Caillebotte, Gauguin, Guillaumin, Monet, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, and Sisley. 

His works today are held in the Van Gogh Museum, the Louvre, and the Musée d’Orsay.
