About the piece
Painted in 1818 by Albrecht Adam, this oil on canvas work depicts the quiet dignity of rural labor. The scene centers on a pair of draft horses standing patiently in the shade of a massive, weathered oak, while a plowman and a young boy take a respite from their work against a distant view of a village church and rolling hills.
