"Digger (Le piocheur)" is a print by Alphonse Legros, a French artist known for his realistic portrayals of working-class life. The print depicts a solitary figure bent over, using a hoe to cultivate the soil. The figure's focused stance and the detail of the tool suggest the labor involved in farming. The background depicts a vast field, hinting at the scale of the work and the harsh conditions faced by those who toil the land. The print's simplicity and emphasis on the individual capture the essence of rural labor and evoke a sense of solitude and the cycle of life.
