About this work

This black-and-white print shows three men in a garden. The man on the left wears a wide-brimmed hat and holds a shovel, standing near a pile of hats. The boy in the middle pours water from a bucket. The man on the right, dressed in fancy clothes, points at the boy’s work. The French text below means “Everyone respects others’ work so that their own is safe.” The scene looks calm but hints at teamwork. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Choffard made prints like this.
