Paysanne avec pannier

Henri-Gabriel Ibels · 1895 · lithograph in yellow and blue on wove paper ·  Accession ID  2000.180.124

The image depicts an artistic pencil sketch showing three figures. Two figures are standing, while one is lying on the ground. The standing figure on the left is depicted with the upper half of the body, leaning forward slightly with arms crossed over a rounded abdomen. The facial features of this figure are simplistic with minimal detail, and the person appears to have short hair and wear a long, loose-fitting garment. The standing figure on the right is shown from head to toe with hands resting on their hips. This figure also has simplified facial features and appears to have short, wavy hair, wearing a loose garment and socks extending above the ankles. The third figure is lying on the ground in a reclining position, with a partially visible face showing closed eyes, positioned horizontally in relation to the standing figures. The person's clothing is undefined but suggests a garment suitable for lying down. The background is plain, indicating an illustration rather than a realistic setting. Accurate text elements on the left describe a theatrical performance titled "Grand-Papa," by Claude Berton, associated with 'Le Théâtre Libre,' listing the cast and other performance information for the 1894-1895 season.

This image depicts a figure carrying a large wooden beam across its shoulder. The figure is portrayed with bold, black lines against a plain background.
