Wheat field, life in the village

The oil painting depicts a vast wheat field, bathed in the golden light of autumn. In the foreground, on the right, we see a touching scene: a father and his little son, side by side, are working on the hay. Together they hold a wide scythe, and each step they take is a single movement, slowly but surely moving them forward across the golden sea of ears of grain. In the distance, on the horizon, on the right, clouds are already gathering, foreshadowing imminent rain. This approaching element adds tension to the picture – they need to make it! In the middle ground, as if reflecting their work, other figures of people are also busy harvesting, their silhouettes dissolving in the vastness of the field.
