About this work

This painting shows four people walking together. The man on the left wears a white shirt and dark pants, holding a long stick. Next to him, three women carry farming tools—shovels and a hoe—over their shoulders. The woman in red holds a small cup. Their clothes are simple, and the background looks like a field under a cloudy sky. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on the clothes, giving the fabric texture. The artist used shadows to separate the figures from the background, making them stand out. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* to see how this technique works.
