Auguste Giraudon's Artist

Artist, French, active 1870s

The image shows a person in a long-sleeved dress and apron bending over to handle a bundle of hay in a natural setting. They are wearing a light headscarf and the background includes trees and sun-dappled ground. The person's sleeves are rolled up, and the image has a slightly blurred effect, especially around the head area.
