Jean-François Depelchin's documented works span a considerable period, including "Pot à jus" (pre 1755) and later pieces such as "The Woodchopper" (c. 1848–1850). His output also features "Peasants Going to Work" (1863).
Depelchin's subject matter frequently centered on rural life and labor, evident in compositions depicting peasants and farmyards. He also explored mythological themes.
