This work's artist depicted his sisters Zoe, Juliette, and Zelie in the right half of this work, whose frieze-like quality prompted Mary Cassatt to exclaim "Why, it's Greek!" upon seeing it. In addition to two boys, both wearing skullcaps, two figures robed in red can be seen in the center left of this painting, whose title locale was also the setting for an earlier work by the same artist depicting the titular workers. The crowd gathered for the depicted event is arranged in an S-curve across this monumental painting, and only a cross projecting into the upper half of the painting breaks this work's division between the sky and the titular event occurring below. For ten points, identify this painting depicting a country funeral by Gustave Courbet.
