Pissarro devoted much of his printmaking and painting practice to depicting French rural laborers, peasants, and pastoral agricultural scenes with similar intimacy and realism. His etchings and prints share Lepère's commitment to capturing working class rural life with atmospheric sensitivity and Post-Impressionist observation.

Millet is the defining French artist of peasant life and bucolic rural subjects, frequently depicting young farmhands and agricultural workers tending livestock in pastoral landscapes with similar emotional weight and realist conviction. His prints and drawings share the same reverence for ordinary rural labor that defines Lepère's young cowherd composition.

Steinlen worked extensively in printmaking and etching to document working class figures including children engaged in labor, often rendered with the same tonal atmospheric quality and social realist sensibility visible in Lepère's rural series. His printed works share the intimate documentary approach to ordinary people in their everyday environments.
