Le bon pasteur
1852
Edmé Jean Pigal’s 1852 print 'Le bon pasteur' offers a humorous take on rural clergy life. A rather rotund, wide-eyed priest in a black cassock tips his hat to the viewer, seemingly unaware of the two curious children peeking out from the wheat field behind him. Part of his 'Loisirs Pigal' series, this colored lithograph playfully captures a candid, slightly caricatured moment of everyday French life in the mid-19th century, blending realism with a touch of gentle satire.
