Painting of a ploughman with two oxen working a yellow and blue field, a windmill on the distant horizon under a swirling sky.

Enclosed Field with Ploughman

A ploughman guides a pair of dark oxen across a broad field of rippling yellow and ochre furrows under a swirling blue sky. A windmill and distant hills sit on the horizon, and the thick, directional brushwork gives the land and clouds a restless energy.

Español: Campo cercado con labrador

Un labrador guía una yunta de bueyes oscuros por un amplio campo de surcos amarillos y ocres bajo un cielo azul arremolinado. Un molino de viento y colinas lejanas aparecen en el horizonte, y las pinceladas gruesas y direccionales dan a la tierra y las nubes una energía inquieta.

Português: Campo cercado com lavrador

Um lavrador conduz uma junta de bois escuros por um amplo campo de sulcos amarelos e ocres sob um céu azul turbulento. Um moinho de vento e colinas distantes aparecem no horizonte, e as pinceladas espessas e direcionais dão à terra e às nuvens uma energia inquieta.
