Tout n'est pas rose dans l'agriculture ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a rural scene featuring two figures and a wheelbarrow. The drawing depicts an expressive and exaggerated style common in caricatures. On the left, there is a figure with a round face wearing a large hat and dress. To the right, another figure with an elongated face is engaged in pushing a wheelbarrow piled with a mound. The background includes stylized clouds and trees. The figures indicate a humorous or satirical tone.
