Farmer, spread out on canvas 1917

Zinaida Serebriakova's 1917 "Farmer" is a striking portrayal of a woman in traditional garb, her head covered by a red scarf, working in the field. The drawing's loose lines and vibrant color palette evoke a sense of movement and energy, capturing the physical exertion of farm labor. Serebriakova's work often focused on rural life, offering a glimpse into the realities of peasant life in early 20th-century Russia. The artist's use of expressive lines and dynamic composition gives this piece a distinctive character, showcasing her masterful ability to depict both the dignity and the hardship of human labor.
