Les Fermiers brulés (A Burnt-Out Farmer, Begging with his Family)

Ange-Laurent de Lalive de Jully, after Jean-Baptiste Greuze

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man leaning forward, reaching to the right, holding a hat and extending his arm. He has distinct facial features, wavy hair, and is wearing a dark jacket over a buttoned shirt. A woman is seated with her hands raised, a child clinging to her, another resting on her knee, and a third child seated beside her. They are dressed in loose, layered clothing. The background includes a stone wall, window, charred surfaces, and scattered objects.
