The Ploughman and his Horse

Charles Meryon

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of paper with handwritten text in French. The text is written in black ink and appears to be a poem or song lyrics. The handwriting is cursive and somewhat difficult to read. The paper is off-white and has a rough texture, with visible signs of aging. The title at the top of the page reads "L'attelage" in large, decorative letters. To the left of the text is a small drawing of a horse and plow, with a man walking alongside. The drawing is simple but detailed, showing the horse's harness and the man's clothing. The background of the image is the off-white color of the paper. The overall appearance of the image suggests that it is an old, handwritten manuscript.
