Peasant Whipping his Donkey

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to be detectives and solve the mystery of this picture called "Peasant Whipping his Donkey." It was painted a long, long time ago, way back in 1628 by an artist named Jacques Callot. nn Can you find the peasant in the picture? What's he holding? That's right, a whip! And what about the donkey, what's the donkey carrying? Those big bags are called saddlebags, and they're full of heavy stuff! nn Now, look closely at the donkey. Does he look happy or sad? He looks pretty tired, doesn't he? Being a working animal was hard work back then. nn The picture is painted in black and white, which makes it look a little bit sad, just like how hard the peasant and the donkey had to work. nn What do you think the peasant and the donkey are thinking about? Maybe they're thinking about going home after a long day. nn Let's move on to the next painting and see what other mysteries we can solve!
