Water Carrier Seated on His Yoke

François Bonvin

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned drawing of a seated man wearing a cap, a white long-sleeved shirt, and a vest, with a yoke on his shoulders. The man sits on the yoke, which rests on two large cylindrical containers, one on each side. He faces left, looking down, hands clasped together. His right leg is slightly bent, and his left leg is straight. He wears shoes. The background features a wall divided into dark and light sections. The artist's signature and the year "1861" are in the bottom-right corner.
