Robert Jean operated Artisanat Robert Jean Inc. in Quebec from the early 1990s until around 2017, carving folk art scenes rooted in rural Quebec life. The scene captured here — a man carrying a bucket toward a maple tree, a second bucket already hanging from the trunk, snowshoes propped against the bark — reflects the maple syrup harvest that has long defined the region; Quebec produces roughly 71% of the world's maple syrup supply.
