Description

This print was published in the magazine L’Assiette au Beurre (March 1, 1902 ) as plate 8 from the series Crimes and Punishments.
A vertically oriented color lithograph depicts two people with light skin tones in a sparse interior. A figure in a floor-length black gown stands center, raising a bundle of dark twigs to strike a child bent over their lap. An open book lies on the planked floor between two wooden chairs. Text at top reads "L'ASSIETTE AU BEURRE," while the caption below reads "Tu finiras par le savoir ton catéchisme!..." followed by initials "FV."
