Etching of a rural procession: robed figures carry a heavy load on a long pole past trees and a distant building.

Offering to Bacchus, plate one of four from Le Travaux de la Vendange

A wide horizontal etching shows robed men and women in a rural procession, several carrying a heavy load slung on a long pole while a figure leans into the foreground. Trees and a distant building frame the scene in fine, hatched linework on cream paper.
