A strong image, with bold outlining and flat planes of sharp color, it falls slightly short of the typical Italian "Bourgeoise Realism" in that the young lady seems far too happy to be picking grapes. Perhaps this is because the poster was meant to be used in France, which is likely given the red, white and blue motif in which the girl is clad.
