1840-1902
French
Canvas Dimensions:16"W x 20.5"H

This painting is based on a story called "La Dime", about two monks named Gregorio and Babylas.
"D'un cote le peche, de l'autre un precipice
On ne peut faire mieux
Que de fermer les yeux
Mais un pauvre baudet n'y aurait benefice."
"On one side a sin, on the other one a ravine
We can't do better
but close our eyes
but a poor donkey won't have any benefit."
Vibert did not name most of his paintings but wrote stories in lieu of names.
