Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of a pastoral scene involving two figures and a donkey. The drawing, titled "Pastorales," depicts two figures standing next to a large pile of round objects and a donkey in the background. One figure has their hands in their pockets, while the other holds one of the round objects. The setting appears rural, with a house visible in the distance and some vegetation. The artwork is signed "H.D." and dated 1843, with a caption mentioning planting potatoes but harvesting truffles instead. The style is reminiscent of lithographic prints from the mid-19th century, with an emphasis on line work and shading to convey depth and character expressions.
