Return from the fields 

"Return from the Fields" by Edouard Debat-Ponsan depicts a family of three walking along a country path. The father carries a shovel, suggesting they have been working in the fields. The mother holds their infant child, and the scene evokes a sense of tranquility and family life. The painting is characteristic of Debat-Ponsan's work, which often featured scenes of rural life and working-class people. This genre was popular in the 19th century and allowed Debat-Ponsan to showcase his skills in depicting realistic details and emotional nuance.
