A Breton Gleaner

Französische Grafik 1879–1887, 1886

The image captures a person from above, seated or crouching. The figure is bending forward, with their head bowed down and turned towards the ground on the left side of the frame. The facial features are not visible due to the angle, and the head is covered by what appears to be a cap or cloth. The person's hair is partially visible, likely dark and matching the outfit. They wear a long sleeve garment in shades of green and blue, with parts of it extending around them. One hand is reaching towards the ground. The background is plain, drawing focus to the figure.
