In the Harvest Field 1924

Karl Rössing’s 1924 watercolor drawing "In the Harvest Field" depicts a woman carrying a large, yellow earthenware pot. The woman is wearing a simple peasant dress and wooden clogs, emphasizing her connection to the land. The delicate lines and washes of color create a sense of quiet dignity and resilience. The work is part of a series of drawings that Rössing created while studying in Europe, capturing the beauty of everyday life in rural communities. The Minneapolis Institute of Art houses this piece, a testament to Rössing’s skillful portrayal of the human figure and its interaction with the natural world.
