About Artwork: (1848) "Salières, who studied with the academic painter Paul Delaroche, made his exhibition debut at the Paris Salon of 1847 and showed this painting there the following year; it retains its original frame. This is ostensibly an unassuming scene of everyday life in the artist's native Languedoc region. But for many mid-nineteenth century viewers it would have evoked La cruche cassée (The Broken Pitcher), the iconic painting of lost innocence by Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805), then as now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
