Høstarbejdere på marken 1847

"Høstarbejdere på marken" (1847) by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, depicts a rural scene of harvest workers in a field. The drawing, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Rørbye's keen observation of everyday life. The composition emphasizes the workers' labor amidst the wheat sheaves, with a distant church providing a sense of scale and setting. The simple yet detailed brushstrokes capture the atmosphere of a bustling harvest day, making it a valuable example of Danish Romantic Realism.
