About the piece

Painted in 1896 by Jan Stobbaerts, this work captures a moment of everyday labor with distinct impressionistic flair. The muted palette of mossy greens and earthy ochres creates a tranquil yet grounded atmosphere, while the visible brushwork emphasizes the physical texture of the Belgian landscape and the focused movements of the figures.
