Peasant Returning from the Manure Heap

Jean-François Millet

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a man pushing a wheelbarrow filled with hay or manure. The man is wearing a hat, a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and shoes. He is facing away from the viewer and appears to be walking. The background shows a stone building with a thatched roof and a wooden fence. A dirt path leads to another building on the right. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-right corner. The image is framed by a light-colored border.
