About the piece
Painted in 1885 during his time in Nuenen, this work captures Vincent van Gogh's early preoccupation with the dignity of manual labor. The somber, tonal palette and vigorous brushwork emphasize the physical connection between the worker and the land, a theme that defined his influential Dutch period.
