5. Describing pictures

When describing a picture, describe it as fully as
possible, as if describing to someone who can’t see it.

colours,
subjects,
location,
season/weather, etc.
as well as describe what is in the foreground/
background.

6. The Vintage of Chateau Lagrange by Jules Breton

This oil painting shows a country scene. It is a portrait of a group
of field workers collecting grapes.The background is sky and open
countryside. in the foreground, a man on a cart pulled by two oxen
takes up the left side of the painting and a group of women
carrying baskets is on the right. The colours are mostly green, red
and blue in naturel shades and the picture looks very realistic.
