Artist, French, 1847 - 1898

This is a drawing of a donkey and a figure. The image centrally features a donkey bearing a load. The donkey stands in an open landscape with a figure in the foreground interacting with it. The background contains indistinct structures or silhouettes. Hatching and cross-hatching techniques dominate the shading of this monochrome scene. Swirling lines in the sky overhead suggest cloud formations. The paper is aged.
