About this work

A group of Roma on the way. Far right, as the front of the group, walks a man with a spear. Next to him two women with young children on horseback. Behind them a horse-drawn cart with goods, a man, a woman and several children. At the very back a man leads a donkey on which a woman with her baby sits. Above the scene two lines of French text. This print is part of a series of four prints with scenes from the life of the Roma.
