About this work

This etching shows a group of people—two adults and three children—gathered in a garden. The adults sit on a bench under a tree, while the kids play on the grass nearby. Flowers and vines frame the scene, and a dog lies in the foreground. The title *L'Education fait tout* means "Education does everything," hinting this scene might be about learning or family life.
