Ploegpaard aan de oevers van de Seine 1898

"Ploegpaard aan de oevers van de Seine" (1898) by Pieter Dupont is an etching that depicts a powerful draft horse pulling a plow along the banks of the Seine River. The artist's detailed rendering of the horse's musculature and harness, along with the background featuring a line of trees and a distant river, creates a sense of realism and the hard labor of agricultural life. The etching's dark tones contribute to the somber mood of the artwork, which focuses on the toil and sweat of working-class life.
