Created by the talented Auguste Louis Lepere, a renowned French artist from 1849 to 1918, this wood engraving is a true representation of heritage art. The Cleveland Museum of Art proudly displays this exquisite piece as part of its collection. In this artwork, Lepere skillfully captures the essence of rural life during that era.
