Légende

Paysannes des Environs de Boulogne (Peasant women from near Boulogne), 1873. Depicts three young peasant women seated together, their heads bowed and hands folded in contemplative prayer. At the feet of one of them is a small sack tied with string. The women sit in individual rustic chairs rather than pews, suggesting informal prayers in the home rather than contemplation as part of a congregation.
