Fagot-makers (Les faiseurs de fagots)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals from head to toe. The person on the left stands upright, wrapped in what appears to be a cloak or robe, with their head covered, showing only the face. The facial expression is calm and focused. The second person is bent over, holding a sickle in their right hand. They wear a long-sleeved shirt with rolled-up sleeves, trousers, and knee-length boots. The background includes a large, leafless tree on the right and a grassy, uneven landscape, indicating a rural setting. The etching technique used creates a textured appearance.
