La famille du fermier

About this work

This etching shows a messy, crowded room with a family of five. A woman in a long dress stands near a window, holding a baby while another child clings to her. Two more kids play on the floor with a cat and scattered toys. Outside the window, a woman in a hat stands on a balcony with a basket. The artist used sharp lines to show the family’s worn clothes and cluttered space. The mix of indoor chaos and outdoor calm creates a quiet contrast.
