Boerinnen op het veld aan het eind van de werkdag 1865

"Boerinnen op het veld aan het eind van de werkdag" is an 1865 etching by the French artist Léopold Flameng. The print depicts a group of peasant women resting in a field after a long day of work. The women are shown in simple clothing and their postures suggest fatigue, yet there is a sense of camaraderie amongst them. This poignant portrayal of rural life, rendered in Flameng's characteristic detailed style, highlights the artist's fascination with depicting everyday scenes. The work exemplifies the Realism movement, which emerged in France in the mid-19th century and sought to depict life as it truly was.
