Ploughman. is a 1894 oil by Ilya Repin, a Realism work, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
This painting shows a man working in a field with two horses. The man is wearing a blue shirt and white hat, and he is holding a wooden plough. The horses are white and are attached to the plough by ropes. The field is brown and muddy, with some green grass in the background. The painting is done in a realistic style, with a focus on the textures of the horses' fur and the man's clothing. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and green dominating the palette. The overall mood of the painting is one of hard work and dedication. The painting is reminiscent of the work of Ilya Repin, who was known for his realistic depictions of everyday life.
