Récolter des Figues / Fig Harvest was part of a series of watercolours my mother painted to sell in her little gallery. She decided that she needed to include more locals and action to balance out her landscapes and appeal to a wider audience.

Also in her collection is the draft painting she did of this scene on location before producing this finished product.
