About this work
Two peasants facing each other in a garden. The man on the right stands leaning on a spade (shovel) and makes a speaking gesture towards the second man who opposite him, on his knees, weeds with his hands. Illustration of the proverb: Everyone must weed his own little garden (everyone must mind his own business).
