Alphonse Legros - La Mort dans le poirier

Another episode in the legend of "Bonhomme Misère." Death, up in the pear tree, has just gathered the fruit that Bonhomme Misère pointed out to him; signed in the lower right corner "A. Legros." The wall of the cottage, smooth in the preceding state, is made of stone in this state.
