Farmers Working in the Field 1888

Vincent van Gogh's "Farmers Working in the Field" is a black and white pen drawing from 1888, currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The drawing depicts a group of farmers working in a field, their figures rendered in a gestural and expressive style. Van Gogh's signature use of thick, swirling lines and a sense of movement, as well as the use of light and shadow, creates a dynamic depiction of the laborers and the landscape they are working in. The artwork reflects the artist's fascination with everyday life and his interest in portraying the labor of the working class.
