He went to Paris and made his debut at the Salon of 1864, achieving immediate distinction. Edwin About, the great art critic, in writing of the Salon of 1864, says of Vollon: "Among the new names which the public has learned this year, I recommend to you especially, that of Vollon. His subjects are treated with decision, firmness and masterly freedom. The tones are just and true. This young man is truly strong." Since then he has been decorated more than once, and now is one of France's best artists. The Chicken Woman is simply an embodiment of vigor and freedom. With her hen "creel" on her shoulders, she steps forth a perfect Amazon. We are tempted to quote the criticism of an American gentleman, which we accidentally overheard at the Paris Exhibition of 1878. He turned to his wife, on coming in front of Vollon's picture, and said, "Ain't she a buster?" Well, the remark s perhaps vulgar, but it is forcible, and a page of criticism could not better express the merits of the painting.
