Field work 

"Field Work" by Hugo Mühlig is a small-scale oil painting depicting a scene of rural labor. The painting shows a team of horses pulling a plow through a muddy field, with a farmer guiding them. The scene is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail given to the textures of the earth and the animals. Mühlig was a German painter known for his depictions of everyday life, and this piece is typical of his work. The painting’s small dimensions might suggest that it was intended as a personal study rather than a large-scale exhibition piece. The subject of rural life and hard work was popular in art during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as artists sought to portray the changing world of industrialization and urbanization.
