Arbeiders bezig met de verwerking van graan 1703

François II de Poilly’s 1703 etching, *Arbeiders bezig met de verwerking van graan*, depicts a group of workers engaged in the laborious task of processing grain. The scene showcases the various stages of the harvest, from loading the grain onto a donkey to winnowing and gathering it in a basket. The detailed and meticulous rendering of the figures and their activities, coupled with the inscription "Permundabit aream suam et congregabit triticum suum in horreum", highlights the importance of agriculture in the daily life of the time. This artwork serves as a testament to the skill of the artist in capturing the details of human labor and the importance of the agricultural process.
