Work Description:
|
In this small painting, an exhausted farmer wearing a white shirt and coveralls leans against a large, unidentifiable piece of farm equipment between two massive wheels and looks out across barren fields. The figure's arms are outstretched and rest atop the wheels. His hands are a blood-red, deep crimson color, suggesting the hard physical labor of his daily life.
