Rustic House

Charles-Émile Jacque

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white illustration titled "Rustic House" by Charles-Émile Jacque. The illustration shows a rustic scene with a two-story house on the right, made of stone with a slanted roof and two visible windows on the upper level, and a doorway on the lower level. On the left is a wooden structure with a sloping roof. Two women, wearing long dresses and head coverings, are in the foreground; one is bending over near a large tub and chickens, and the other is on top of the tub. A third person stands in the doorway of the house. Trees are behind the structures, and a fence is on the far left. The sky above is cloudy. The illustration has a border around it, with the artist's signature in the top left corner and text at the bottom.
