Gathering Berries is a 1874 ink by Lagarde, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows four people picking berries in a field. One person is bent over, filling a basket, while another stands nearby holding a hat. The background has a ship in the distance and a rocky hill. The clothes look old-fashioned, with big skirts and hats. The artist used fine lines and shading to show light and texture, like the folds in the clothes and the plants. This style was common in wood engravings of the time. Next, look up engraving to see how artists created detailed prints like this.
