Help with title of painting in French
« on: Friday 30 December 22 18:34 GMT (UK) »
I know this isn't family history but it is only one word and I hope someone can help me.

Background
I have a lithograph of a painting by Hippolyte Bellange.
It shows a man walking along a wooden path, he has a long stick in one hand and a dog on a lead in the other hand. He has a large bag over his shoulder.

The lithograph is glued on a backing sheet of paper and the word is written on that paper underneath the lithograph so my thought is that it is the name of the painting but I can't work out what it is or what it means.
