Mower on the field c. 1909

"Mower on the Field" is a lithograph by Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler created circa 1909. Hodler, known for his iconic "parallelism" style, depicts a figure in the act of mowing, suggesting a connection between the rhythmic movement of the mower and the repeated lines of the figure. This work, currently housed in the Städel Museum, is an example of Hodler's exploration of human activity and its relation to the natural world. The faint blue tones of the lithograph add to the overall atmosphere of calm and solitude.
