About the piece

In this 1919 work, Edvard Munch captures the rhythmic labor of autumn ploughing with a bold, rhythmic technique characteristic of his later years. The contrasting forms of the white and dark horses dominate the foreground, set against a landscape of sweeping hills and autumn tones that hum with vital energy.
