Men thrashing 1800 - 1900

"Men thrashing" is an anonymous 19th-century print depicting a group of men working in a field. The scene depicts a common agricultural practice, with men using long poles to beat grain from stalks. The artist, whose identity is unknown, has skillfully captured the dynamic movement of the men and the rough textures of the field, creating a realistic and evocative depiction of rural life. The print is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is a great example of early-to-mid 19th-century printmaking.
