Field of Grain (by Berthe Morisot) Ceramic Tile

This design features a painting by the French Impressionist artist Berthe Morisot (1841–1895). It depicts a boy working on a farm who is standing in a field of grain. The crop of grain is golden in colour. The beauty of the fields contrasts with the quaint ordinariness of the village that can be seen in the background. The boy is wearing a straw hat and holding a sack on his back, which is to help his work on the farm. There is a dirt path surrounded by grass that leads away from the field of golden grain. The scene is based in the French area of Gennevilliers, which is now part of the northwestern suburbs of Paris. The original artwork was painted by Berthe Morisot in 1875.
