About the piece

Painted in 1856, Hans Jørgen Hammer’s masterwork celebrates the rural heritage of Denmark. The scene depicts a procession of farmers returning from the fields, their high-piled wagon of grain topped by a fiddler whose music accompanies their journey home through the soft, golden light of dusk.
