The Ploughman is a 1862 oil by Carl Schweninger der Ältere, held at Kunsthistorisches Museum.
The painting shows a man ploughing a field with two horses. The man is dressed in dark clothing and a hat, and he is holding the reins of the horses. The horses are brown and white, and they are pulling a plough through the dirt. The background of the painting is a cloudy sky with trees in the distance. The man and horses are the main focus of the painting, and they are depicted in a realistic style. The brushstrokes are visible, and the colors are muted. The overall effect is one of serenity and hard work. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this painting, you might want to look up Carl Schweninger der Ältere.
