Hand-colored lithograph of a family outside a thatched cottage; a man with a tool on his shoulder approaches, and a dog sits by a fence.

Saturday Night, Returning from Labour

A hand-colored lithograph shows a family scene in front of a thatched cottage with climbing vines. A man in a blue coat and tan trousers, carrying a tool over his shoulder, approaches while a woman in a long dress greets him near a doorway, and a girl holds a doll. A dog sits at the right beside a wooden fence.
