Grain binders, The garlands, Paintings at the Salon of 1878, Salon of 1878, print, watermark, printmaker: Julien Dupré, France, publisher: widow Alfred Cadart, Paris, 1878, paper, etching, drypoint, intaglio printmaking technique, height 197 mm x width 277 mm, agriculture, cattle-breeding, horticulture, flowerculture, A monochrome etching shows figures working in a field, bending and kneeling over bundles of stalks. One figure in the foreground wears a headscarf and a long skirt and holds a sheaf, another nearby wears a wide-brimmed hat and crouches while grasping a bundle, and another leans forward with hands on a tied sheaf. In the background more figures are faintly sketched, some seated beside stacks of harvested material, and distant suggestions of buildings and low hills line the horizon. The sky is filled with short, hatched lines and the ground is rendered with dense crosshatching and textured strokes. The overall scene is composed of detailed linear shading and varied hatchwork creating depth and form.
