"Ploeger en een zaaier werkend op het land" (1836-1912) is a detailed black and white wood engraving by Isaac Weissenbruch, known for his realistic depictions of Dutch landscapes. This small, yet intricate work captures a rural scene of a plowman and a sower working in a field, their figures rendered with precision against the backdrop of a sun-drenched sky. This everyday scene, typical of Weissenbruch's style, speaks to his keen observation of the natural world. The engraving is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and offers viewers a glimpse into the daily life of 19th-century Dutch countryside.
