strange picture

[Pelady]

Great harvest scene!  Is it a print? 
Thinking about the Time period of the original:  Most paintings were of the rich or religious themes until the 16th century. The guy exhausted sleeping with his pants open.  The pants with the drop front style says 15th or 16th Century.

thank you all esp rauville for finding the name of it, it looks like a really primitive time - again appreciate everyone's time.

lithographic print on medium-weight, lightly coated stock  1957

mine has huge sun damage and I think lots of smoke.

Still tells such a story-glad I'm not there.

I saw that print  back in the 50`s when I was a kid !!  I think it was at a shop somewhere !!  I thought it was a little spooky !! Looked to me like the guy lying down was dead !! Couldn`t figure out why they just left him there !!

Glad to see you mart.

and that made me laugh--yes they all look hot sweaty and unhappy one way or another.
