Country Amusement, plate 59 from Moeurs Conjugales

A lithograph in black ink on white paper shows two women in bonnets and shawls at a doorway, one carrying a large bundle of goods, while a man in a top hat and a woman in a long dress stroll away along a sunlit street. Heavy hatching gives the scene a dramatic, caricatural quality, and a caption in French appears below the image.
