The Roller

Charles-Émile Jacque

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Roller by Charles-Émile Jacque. A black-and-white drawing depicting a field scene. A man wearing a hat stands behind four horses or donkeys, all harnessed to a plow or roller. The animals are walking to the left. The man holds a whip in one hand. The animals' bodies are varying shades of gray, suggesting their fur. The man wears a hat, a light shirt, and dark pants. A tree and more fields are on the right. The sky is cloudy. The entire scene is set against a light-gray background with darker gray shading throughout. The title "Le Roupeau" is written at the bottom center.
